‘Exhibiting Everyday Life in a Concentration Camp? A Provocative Project at the Sachsenhausen Memorial Museum’
10-11.30am, Thursday 3 May 2012 (room G07, 126 Mount Pleasant)
This workshop uses the CD-ROM on Everyday Life in the Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp that was produced for the Sachsenhausen Memorial as the point of departure of an exploration of theoretical and practical questions arising from the presentation of historical research to a wider public.
Postgraduate Workshop II
‘The complexity of commemoration: Victims of National Socialist persecution and of the Second World War in the Cultures of Remembrance in Europe’
2.30-4pm, Thursday 3 May 2012 (room G07, 126 Mount Pleasant)
This workshop uses a database produced for the Stiftung Denkmal in Berlin as the point of departure for an exploration of how European narratives about the Second World War and the Holocaust have changed and become more similar to one other since 1945.
