Conferences and seminars

Besides opening its doors to groups of visitors, the centre for historical studies also organises conferences and seminars, often in cooperation with other institutions. These events are based on a programme profile which factors in changes in memorial culture and in historical and civic education. As the crimes of the National Socialists become increasingly distant for subsequent generations and contemporary witnesses are lost, the programme is adjusted to take account of these factors.

The didactic approach behind the programme profile is orientated on reflection and on conveying the history of National Socialism as it relates to current issues. In this way, it aims to contribute to the development of democratic thought and action, the emergence of a shared European identity and the cooperation between different cultures. Particular importance is placed on the examination of human rights violations.
