This is a heritage tour, with the elements of a dark tour, which tells the story of World War II in Split. The tour is developed with the help of a storytelling method, which allows participants to get a better sense of the atmosphere of that time. During the tour participants will learn what was the cause of the War in this area, who were the oppressors, whose side were the citizens on and what ultimately led to the end of the War. Besides being made according to the historical facts, the tour places a great emphasis on the human aspect. Participants will learn how the events during the War affected the lives of the ordinary people by listening to their stories. They will learn about their fights, struggles, resistance, sacrifices and losses. In addition, they will see where bomb shelters were made, find out who were the hidden heroes who helped fighters and civilians, what happened with the Jewish community that has been active in Split for centuries, how were the Italians welcomed, how the Germans and much more. Throughout the tour, old photographs of buildings that were damaged or completely destroyed in the war will be provided. The photographs are the property of the Museum of the City of Split and are kept in the museum archives, but for this tour I got the exclusive rights to use them for the purpose of the tour.
