Facing Nazi Crimes: European Perspectives after 1945
In the organizer's words:
As part of the European series of events accompanying the exhibition "Exhibiting Violence: First Exhibitions on the Nazi Occupation in Europe, 1945-1948", the social and historical contexts of these exhibitions will be discussed at the locations of the exhibitions organized between 1945 and 1948 - Paris, Warsaw, London, Liberec and Bergen-Belsen. How did the exhibitions relate to the early visual, documentary, legal, political and historical confrontation with the German occupation and its crimes? How were they received and what influence have they had on the culture of remembrance to this day?
On six evenings, central aspects of the early exhibitions, their creation and impact will be presented and debated with experts from local institutions.
