questions of historical memory and politicians are again in the center of public debate. After a long period when the emphasis was on the preservation of the memory of the Holocaust in the global discussion, there are now significant changes. What is the importance of Holocaust memory in Europe and the West, especially in connection with migration and debates on colonialism? How does it change when immigration is often perceived as a problem? The lecture of German historian Dirk Rupnow will present the current view of the issue that is increasingly resonating in the European and world context. The event will take place in English.
