Subcontractors of Guilt – Holocaust Memory and Muslim Belonging in Postwar Germany | Conversation with Esra Özyürek
In the organizer's words:
One of the foundational narratives in post-war Germany revolves around the commitment to remembering the Holocaust. However, there exists a prevailing assumption that Muslims or Muslim immigrants may either be unable or unwilling to engage with Germany's historical past. Is a new concept of remembrance culture necessary? If yes, how could that reality look like and what other narratives are meant to be heard?
Esra Özyürek is the Sultan Qaboos Professor of Abrahamic Faiths and Shared Values at the University of Cambridge. She is the author of Being German, Becoming Muslim: Race, Religion, and Conversion in the New Europe (2015).
