Preserve the Remembrance
What do we want to preserve? Remembrance and memorials in official narratives
Image of the Buchenwald memorial
Memorial sites are influenced by personal, political and other interests and provoke reactions of those who come as visitors today - with their own perspectives and needs. How to reconcile these different views? Is an inclusive memorial possible - and does it make sense? The workshop consists of methods to answer these questions using examples from Buchenwald in Germany.
