About the documentary
“When I go to those places, I feel connected. Basically because a part of me gone through something like that in the past, which I did not go through directly because I’ve never been enslaved or into forced labor. But my grandparents or great-great-grandparents have been into a situation like that. And for the first time me going to a place, I feel connected to it and I wanted to know more and how history link from one end of the world to the other end of the world.”
Fatoumata Cham, field trip participant
Duration: 16:03 minutes
Our recommendation
The documentation is suitable for preparing a visit to a memorial site or places of remembrance with a multi-perspective approach. In addition to the documentation, the online platform of “Multi-peRSPEKTif” can provide further suggestions on how groups with different approaches, questions and discussions can deal thematically with National Socialism and post-National Socialist society.”Multi-peRSPEKTif” offers spaces for a joint shaping of memory culture(s) precisely through encounters and negotiations, enables social participation and is to be understood as an intervention in existing memory narratives.But it also shows the demands on the culture(s) of remembrance in a society of the many:Who owns memorials and places of remembrance? Who speaks? Who are we talking about? Which perspectives are visible and which are not? Who shapes places of memory and how can they be changed?
