13:30 Workshop 3 September 1999
| Children of Perpetrators – between Silence and Remembering |
|
| This workshop is about transmission of the Nazi past to the next generations (narrating, silence, taboos...), about confrontations within families, and the (im)possibility of dialogue within the family. Various ways of how the second generation is dealing with the "negative legacy" will be looked at, and the political and personal ambivalences encountered will be tackled in a collaborative process. |
