Summary/Abstract: One of the most important guarantees of dealing with the past process is the guarantee of non-repetition of a violent past, which included intolerance, inequality, human rights violations and war crimes. These guarantees are mostly connected to institutional and legal measures of protection and they are rarely discussed in wider, social and cultural frameworks, such as educational, cultural, economic and other policies and social practices, which could, in the long-term, prevent the violent past from repeating. As a particular form of social and political reparation, but also as a role in the lives of younger generations, education of the young about the past is undoubtedly a quality and long-term guarantee of non-repetition of violence and a step towards a more responsible society.
