The Kreisau conference for memorial sites targets museums and memorials throughout Europe and worldwide. Its main goal is to provide a platform for experts and opinion makers in this field to exchange ideas, foster networking among facilities and institutions, with the aim of promoting stronger collaboration and encouraging critical-reflexive thinking about democratic memorial culture.
This year the conference focuses on the debates surrounding the creation of monuments. How do these monuments express experiences of dictatorship, and to what extent do they differentiate between National Socialism and Communism or remember them collectively? Furthermore, what changes occurred after the turning points in 1945 or 1989? How do memorials dedicated to victims of violence evolve over time, and what is the role of victim competition in this evolution? What is the significance of addressing crime complexes and Transitional Justice in the creation of memorial sites? What trends are evident in monuments dedicated to real or perceived heroes? How does gender history feature in memorials, both past and present? How does the formal language of memorials change over time? Lastly, the conference explores how memorials and places of remembrance contribute to the development of democratic memorial culture.
