English Version:

Digitalisation opens up new possibilities for engaging with remembrance culture – from AI-supported eyewitness interviews to holographic encounters and globally accessible digital archives. At the same time, it raises new challenges. As this year’s European Capital of Culture, Chemnitz, is a city of contrasts – characterised by lively diversity and, at the same time, by the challenges of a violent past. The Offener Prozess – a documentation center on the NSU complex – embodies this engagement with local history and offers a special framework to discuss the future of remembrance culture while exploring digital methods without endangering the integrity or significance of physical places of remembrance.

Together with experts Dr Jonas Fegert, Nhi Le and Susanne Siegert, moderator Benjamin Fischer discusses how digital methods can transform the culture of remembrance.
