Das deutsche Alibi. Mythos »Stauffenberg Attentat« – wie der 20. Juli 1944 verklärt und politisch instrumentalisiert wird

In the organizer's words:

The assassination attempt of July 20, 1944 is considered the central event of the "German resistance" against the Nazi regime. An alliance of people from different social and political backgrounds were involved. After 1945, "July 20" moved to the center of West German remembrance of National Socialism - also in Cologne. It is still used today as a political instrument, to exonerate guilt or for democratic self-assurance. Ruth Hoffmann discusses the myth of "July 20" with Dr. Jan Neubauer (NS-DOK).
