In the organizer's words:

Awareness of the horrors of the Holocaust is dwindling, in public life, in education, in our understanding of values - observes Eva Umlauf, Auschwitz survivor and one of the last living witnesses of the Shoah. In her urgent appeal Exactly how it begins, she clearly states why we must act quickly if we do not want to give authoritarian forces even more space. After her appeal, she hands over the stage to journalist Susanne Siegert, one of the defining voices of digital remembrance culture. With her channel @keine.erinnerungskultur, she educates people about the Holocaust on Instagram and TikTok, and in her bookGedenken neu denken. How our remembrance of the Holocaust must change, she argues for a new, pluralistic approach to remembrance. What can a culture of remembrance look like that still reaches new generations in the future? Can social media create a respectful place of remembrance? Moderated by Shelly Kupferberg
