>  *The Deputy Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and Media,
> Günter Winands, today launched Europeana 1914-1918, an online resource that
> opens up hidden stories of the First World War and shows the tragedy that
> shaped Europe from different sides of the conflict.*

> Europeana 1914-1918 <http://www.europeana1914-1918.eu/> is the most
> important pan-European collection of original First World War source
> material. It is the result of three years of work by 20 European countries
> and will include:
>
>    - 400,000 rare documents digitised by 10 state libraries and two other
>    partners in Europe
>    - 660 hours of unique film material digitised by audiovisual archives
>    - 90,000 personal papers and memorabilia of some 7,000 people involved
>    in the war, held by their families and digitised at special events in 12
>    countries
>
> The Minister of Culture, Monika Grütters, said on the occasion of the
> launch:
>
> 'Among the numerous projects the Federal Government of Germany is
> initiating and financially supporting during the current Centenary 2014,
> Europeana 1914-1918 is a highlight due to its pan-European dimension. It
> shows the stark difference between the European disruptions of that time
> and our way of cooperating nowadays. It is vital for the Government to
> point out, especially to young people, that today's Europe is a union based
> on shared values, policies and justice. That's the best way to avoid the
> wars, terror and fragmentation that Europe suffered in the 20th century. We
> don't just want to show historical events, we want to use them for the
> present and the future. The Europeana project will help shape our views of
> that time and it will make a great contribution to the mutual understanding
> of the European people, despite the conflicts of history.'
