The topicality of war
Legacies of Occupation. National Socialism and the European Present
© DHM
Conversation with Joachim Gauck and Rüdiger von Fritsch
Moderation: Sabine Adler
The Russian war of aggression against Ukraine has also brought to mind the German war of annihilation against the Soviet Union. What significance does this historical experience have for the present and how do we counter its instrumentalization?
Welcome: Raphael Gross, President of the German Historical Museum Foundation
In conversation: Joachim Gauck, former Federal President, and Rüdiger von Fritsch, former German ambassador in Warsaw and Moscow, among other places
Legacies of Occupation. National Socialism and the European present
The Second World War and the German occupation of Europe ended more than 80 years ago. However, the associated experiences of violence continue to shape European societies to this day. At the invitation of the ZWBE, prominent voices will discuss these effects in relation to current political conflicts, long-term economic developments, social coexistence, culture and forms of remembrance.
A Series of talks of the Documentation Center "Second World War and German Occupation in Europe" (ZWBE)
Moderator: Sabine Adler, radio journalist and long-time correspondent for Deutschlandradio
Location: 2nd floor in the Pei-Bau, DHM
Event in German, partly with simultaneous translation
Participation: on site (the event will be video-recorded)Translated with DeepL
