Erinnern im Krieg – Erinnerung im Wandel. Ukrainische Erinnerungskultur im Kontext des aktuellen Krieges.

In the organizer's words:

How is the current violence in Europe transforming our view of history? The event deals with the effects of the Russian war of aggression on today's Ukrainian culture of remembrance and museum work on the Second World War. The focus will be on modern, social forms of commemoration and the working conditions of historical places of learning in the context of the war. We will also build a bridge to the Berlin remembrance landscape and invite you to reflect on German and Ukrainian perspectives.
