80 Years and No End: Between Memory and Present: 80 Years After the End of Nazi Terror
ARSP ANNUAL CONFERENCE
At the annual conference, we will examine these upheavals and ask about the present of remembrance: How can we understand the wars and conflicts of this world in a historically aware way in order to strengthen democracy, solidarity and cooperation across borders? We look at how wars can end and how violence can be prevented from flaring up again and how sustainable peace can be achieved. We will also talk to our guests about changes in the politics of remembrance and discuss how it can be strengthened in the future in view of the current crises in order to meet the challenges of the present.
The varied program consists of a keynote speech by Prof. Timothy Williams “How (can) wars end?”, a panel discussion with Deborah Hartmann, Prof. Jens-Christian Wagner and Kateryna Mishchenko as well as various working groups and a city walk.
The working groups offer the opportunity for in-depth and interactive exchange and are organized in collaboration with various partner organizations and external lecturers. Topics include post-Soviet perspectives on the end of the war, the Nazi murders of the sick, perspectives of Sinti*, memory in post-migrant society, the current situation in Israel and historical discourses in the extreme right. There will also be a decolonial city tour of the nearby “African Quarter” in Wedding. The conference will end with music by Janko Lauenberger.
