We Are What We RememberSomething is wrong in an engagement with Auschwitz, if it is not, again and again, deeply disturbing – or at least every once in a while. Bernd Ulrich Yet, how can a person of a later generation, after that of the perpetrators, who has not studied the Holocaust scientifically, approach the 'abyss of history' (Paul Valéry)? For me personally this was only possible through a chorus of different voices trying to enter into a dialogue with each other: explaining historically, arguing, desperately questioning, clamoring and accusing, struggling for truth, pleading for reconciliation and hopeful for the future. This collection is meant as a contribution to ensure that we continue to face up to historical responsibility and build a collective cultural memory which is reliable and durable and, at the same time, forms an 'orientation culture' for the generations to come. |
