Panel discussion: What does a place have to tell?

Perspectives and Challenges of Current Memorial Site Education
 

77 years after the end of National Socialism, only a few contemporary witnesses are still alive who can tell of their
experiences and adventures. Today, in the transition from communicative to
cultural memory, it is primarily pictures and films, historical objects and structural
relics that convey the National Socialist past. But what exactly does the change in the
culture of remembrance mean for mediation work at historical crime scenes, in digital space or at
learning sites without direct historical reference to National Socialism?

What does a place have to tell? What can a document testify?
On June 30, 2022, experts in historical-political education will address these questions.
Under the impulse of Prof. Dr. Alfons Kenkmann (University of Leipzig), Dr. Verena
Haug (Anne Frank Zentrum Berlin), Dr. Akim Jah (/Arolsen Archives) and Ann-Kathrin Mogge
(#Hatebreach, Die Kopiloten) will discuss.

Moderation: Prof. Dr. Hubertus Büschel (Chair of Modern and Contemporary History) and Dr. Ann
Katrin Düben (Breitenau Memorial).

The event will be recorded by Offener Kanal Kassel. During the event there is
the obligation to wear a medical mouth-nose-protection.
