Ausverkauft | Die vergessenen Kriege des Balkans

In the organizer's words:

The war in Kosovo ended 25 years ago, the wars in Bosnia and Croatia almost 30 years ago. The weapons are silent, but the wounds are far from healed: Genocide denial and nationalist rhetoric are the order of the day in the countries of the Western Balkans.

In Germany, however, all this seems to have been forgotten. The siege of Sarajevo, the destruction of Vukovar and the Račak massacre are only known to a few. Why is it that the Yugoslav wars are not remembered in Germany?

Marie-Janine Calic, professor of Eastern and South-Eastern European history, and Manuel Sarrazin, the German government's special envoy for the Western Balkans, will discuss the gaps in Germany's culture of remembrance, nationalist historical politics and future prospects for the region.

The event will be moderated by journalist Adelheid Feilcke.
