How to Decolonize Memory?
Our team got the opportunity to have a guided tour of the Jewish Museum Berlin as part of our "How to Decolonize the Memory?" workshop, which took place in November in Berlin.
The Jewish Museum in Berlin first opened its doors in 2001. The idea for a Jewish Museum arose in the western part of Berlin prior to the collapse of the Berlin Wall in 1989.
During the tour, we learned about the Museum's architectural concept, which was designed by Daniel Libeskind. During our visit to the museum, we learned about Jewish-German history, culture, and the present, the importance of migration stories for contemporary Jewish life in Germany, and Jewish perspectives on the Holocaust and forms of remembrance.
Following the museum visit, we had a reflective session on the representation of Roma and Sinti history and remembrance.
Thanks to the EVZ Foundation for their support, as well as the Documentation and Cultural Center of German Sinti and Roma for their collaboration and the assistance of our trainee, Elmira Kakabayeva.
