On May 8, the Museum Berlin-Karlshorst is hosting an evening event entitled "May 8 as a Place of Remembrance. An all-German perspective". The focus will be on the question of how the memory of the end of the war differs in East and West Germany, how it relates to each other and how it continues to have an impact today. What role do East German influences play in this - especially in the once again virulent debate about East German identities?

Historical experiences in dealing with the Soviet Union and the Russian Federation as well as their interpretation in current political discussions will be addressed. At the same time, the question of what significance remembrance has for a democratic self-image in Germany will be addressed. The event invites you to make different perspectives visible and put them up for debate.

With:Prof. Dr. Martin Sabrow (Professor emeritus, Humboldt University of Berlin; former Director of the Leibniz Centre for Contemporary History in Potsdam),Ines Geipel (author and former university lecturer), (author and former university lecturer). University lecturer),Dr. Jörg Morré (Director of the Museum Berlin-Karlshorst),Moderation: Andreas Ulrich (TV and radio journalist)

Admission is free.

An extensive program will take place at the Museum Berlin-Karlshorst on 8 May 2026. Further information can be found here.Translated with DeepL
