Susanne Siegert: Gedenken neu denken

In the organizer's words:

The Documentation Center for National Socialism (DZNS) invites you to a reading with the author Susanne Siegert. "Everything you DON'T learn about Nazi crimes at school":

This is the slogan of the social media profiles of Susanne Siegert, who has been educating hundreds of thousands of people about the Holocaust on TikTok and Instagram since 2020. In "Gedenken neu denken" (Piper, 2025), she gets to the heart of her meticulous research and extensive mediation experience and shows why our culture of remembrance urgently needs to change.

Siegert argues for new, pluralistic remembrance work with a focus on the responsibility of the descendants of the generation of perpetrators instead of the "rehearsed" collective retrospective from the perspective of the persecuted. The Grimme Online Award-winning journalist will talk to DZNS director Julia Wolrab about what constitutes a more active, diverse culture of remembrance.

Tickets cost 11 euros, concessions 7 euros, available from the Literaturhaus or Reservix.

The reading is part of the Literaturhaus Freiburg's "Gegenworte" series.

Due to high demand, the reading has been moved to the auditorium of the St. Ursula Gymnasium (Bismarckalle 14, 79098 Freiburg).

This content has been machine translated.
