Remebering Southern Germany’s Jewish past – initiatives and developments since the 1980’s
Journal Title: Kultura Popularna - Year 2017, Vol 1, Issue 51
Abstract
Since the 1980s about 40 Jewish memorials and museums have been established in villages and towns of Southern Germany, mostly in former synagogues and neighbouring buildings. In this article, their genesis, conception and purposes are described and analyzed as well as shortcomings and taboos. While usually initiated by local residents, the memorials have been estabperlished by non-Jewish German museum makers. As such they reflect the peculiarities of German national memorial culture and thus are often seen as alien by Jews living in Germany today.<br/><br/>
