This multimedia archive combines different approaches, media and methods that we consider necessary for transnational remembrance work. Originally, the contributions on this page only dealt with the question of how World War II, National Socialism and the fight against it is remembered in different regions of Europe. Due to the current war in Ukraine, the way historical narratives are engaged in this war has also become the topic of this website. The contributions on this page are diverse and from different perspectives. We hope they give impulses for an emancipatory discussion of history!
