Multiperspective Holocaust Remembrance in Times of Contested Memory

This online event marks the end of the project Multiperspective Holocaust Remembrance in Contemporary Europe (short: MuRem). Throughout the project, we engaged with educators and researchers from across Europe to foster dialogue and enhance multiperspectivity and interdisciplinarity in European Holocaust Education, while acknowledging the diversity of memory cultures and their implications for the present.

With this final event, we reflect on past networking meetings focused on multiperspectivity in Holocaust education and address key topics previously discussed during those meetings. The two-hour online event features a presentation by Prof. Dr. Omer Bartov, Samuel Pisar Professor of Holocaust and Genocide Studies at Brown University: “The Benefits and Perils of Holocaust Uniqueness: Political, Legal, Pedagogical, and Humanitarian Implications”, followed by a collective discussion on these themes.
