Within this workshop, specialists both on the history of the commemorated history and on their commemoration as well as on their integration and shaping in teaching processes both in schools and outside, are invited to present to each other first the structures, developments and open questions of their own country's resp. culture's memorial culture and open questions as well as new perspectives, and to discuss possible new insights and questions which may be derived from comparison.
