with Ljiljana Radonić
The first exhibitions about Nazi crimes were part of a Europewide phenomenon that came to a halt with the onset of the Cold War. To what extent can an examination of the discussions and confrontations of the post-war period be instructive for today’s culture of remembrance? What opportunities and challenges are connected with a project of European remembrance for an understanding of past and present?

Facing Nazi Crimes: European Perspectives after 1945
This European event series explores the social and historical contexts of the early exhibitions on Nazi crimes organised between 1945 and 1948. The series will unfold in the cities where these exhibitions were originally held – Paris, Warsaw, London, Liberec and Bergen-Belsen – and will conclude in Berlin. How did the exhibitions relate to the early visual, documentary, legal, political, and historical efforts to address the German occupation and its crimes? How were they received and what influence did they have on today’s culture of remembrance?Over the course of six evenings, key aspects of the early exhibitions – their origins and their impact – will be presented and discussed with experts from local institutions.
