»Der Kniefall von Warschau und die Aufstände.« Die Rolle von Erinnerungsorten nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg in der deutsch-polnischen Verständigung

In the organizer's words:

Venue: Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf, Lecture Hall 3B (Building 23.01), Universitätsstraße 1, 40225 Düsseldorf

Dr. Katja Schlenker, curator of the GHH Düsseldorf Foundation, will focus on selected places of remembrance after 1945 that play a central role in understanding and communicating the history of German-Polish interdependence after the Second World War.

The focus is on the memorial to Willy Brandt's kneeling in Warsaw, the exhibition at the Warsaw Uprising Museum and places of remembrance of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising and the Solidarność movement.

The Modern Times Forum of the Institute of History is organized every semester by the Chairs of Early Modern History, Modern History, Contemporary History and Eastern European History and serves to present and discuss current research projects and results on a changing main topic.

The lecture series always takes place on Tuesdays from 16.30 to 18.00 in Lecture Hall 3B (Building 23.01).
