Konservative Positionen: Ein Debattenbeitrag zur Ordnung des sächsischen Gedächtnisdiskurses nach 1989

Abstract

For decades, commemoration policy in Saxony has been marked by a conservative prerogative of interpretation and continuous conflicts. However, to turn those crises into a productive process and in order to come to the right conclusions, a debate on the former ordering principles of the commemoration discourse in Saxony is needed. This essay is meant to both initiate a critical hindsight and to outline challenges the future commemoration work in relation to Nazi crimes might face.
