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 recount their
experiences. Today, in the transition from communicative to
cultural memory, it is primarily images and films, historical objects and architectural
relics that convey the National Socialist past. But what exactly does the change in the
culture of remembrance mean for educational work at historical crime scenes, in digital space or at
places of learning without direct historical reference to National Socialism?

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

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
it is compulsory to wear a medical face mask.
