Summary

A key insight from this study is that children studying in German-language schools in Transylvania can serve as cultural bridges, preserving the fading heritage of the Transylvanian Saxons. The research examines how Anne Junesch's 2019 children's book, 'Das Amenchen. Mäuseleben,' effectively sensitizes young readers to this cultural legacy through a narrative centered on fortified churches and a German protagonist. By weaving a story around these historical structures, the book introduces children to the nearly lost world of the Saxons, fostering cross-ethnic understanding between Germans and Romanians in Transylvania.
