Conversation with the German Minister of State for Culture and Media, Claudia Roth, Dr. Andrea Despot, Dr. Anatolii Podolskyi and Floriane Azolay (in German and Ukrainian)
Since the end of February 2022, Russia has been waging a war of aggression against Ukraine in violation of international law. In the shadows of the acute humanitarian catastrophe in Ukraine, another threat is looming: a profound instrumentalization of history. Certainties of memory culture are increasingly being called into question.
What does the war in Ukraine mean for German, Jewish and Ukrainian memory cultures? Which reflexes – like for example the deflection of guilt and the relativization of the Holocaust and Nazi injustice – can be identified in German public debate, and how can they be countered?
The event will be accompanied by the DJ Yurij Gurzhy.
Dr. Andrea Despot, CEO of the Foundation for Remembrance, Responsibility and Future (EVZ), will hold a discussion with Minister of State for Culture and Media, Claudia Roth, Director of the Ukrainian Center for Holocaust Studies in Kyiv, Dr. Anatolii Podolskyi (joins digitally), and Director of the Arolsen Archives, Floriane Azoulay.
