Lecture date: 2001-02-11
Reunification has created urban and architectural problems concerning the nature of Germany and its past. This conference concentrates upon two acute aspects of this situation – the urban centre of Berlin and the continuing controversies about the representation of the Holocaust. Mark Cousins comments on the themes raised by the conference, attempting en route to problematize part of the discourse which links the idea of memory to an idea of memorial to an idea of the centrality of remembering the Holocaust.
Panel discussion chaired by Mark Cousins, featuring Astrid Schmeing, Matthias Reese, Philip Oswalt.
