Die DDR ver/erben Familien, Dinge und ihre Geschichten

In the organizer's words:

With Annett Gröschner, Sabine Rennefanz, Aron Boks, Gabriela Braden-Becker and Daniela Greinert.

Records and pepper shakers from the Palast der Republik, lamps designed by your grandfather or a collection of programs from concert evenings long past. Such things carry experiences and emotions. They tell personal and family stories that often extend far beyond the private sphere and are part of collective experiences.

How do we remember a divided Germany - and how do we pass on these memories? How do they shape our lives today and the lives of future generations? At the former site of the Palace of the Republic, the event focuses on the connection between personal items, memories and family heritage.

The authors Annett Gröschner ("Schwebende Lasten"), Sabine Rennefanz ("Kosakenberg") and Aron Boks ("Starkstromzeit. Vom Leben in einem Staat, den es nicht mehr gibt") will read from their latest works. In them, they deal with questions of identity, family and memory against the backdrop of the GDR past, which we will then discuss in greater depth together.

The second part of the evening will focus on memorabilia from the Palast der Republik: Gabriela Braden-Becker will present objects from her time as a DJ at the Palast, while Daniela Greinert will talk about the extensive collection of inherited program booklets. These personal testimonies form the starting point for the question of what remains of the past - and how we deal with this legacy today.

The evening will be moderated by Susanne Müller-Wolff, Humboldt Forum Foundation.
