Your Unity, Our Unity in Erlangen: Memory from Diverse Perspectives

Rethinking German Unity: Who Is Remembered?

The German unity is not narrated the same way for all people. The online lecture Your Unity, Our Unity – Who Do We Remember? focuses on experiences that are often less visible in public memory culture. It centers on the perspectives of people with migration backgrounds regarding the upheavals since 1989 and 1990.

Memory Culture with New Perspectives

Joy and relief are just as much a part of personal stories as uncertainty, exclusion, and racism. The lecture opens up the view for these different life realities and asks how a shared memory of German unity can look. The format combines historical context with social discussion and addresses everyone interested in contemporary history, migration, and democratic memory culture.

Online Event with Nhi Le

German journalist, speaker, moderator, and author Nhi Le is announced as the course leader. She deals with media, politics, and social issues. Her own family history is closely linked to the German division: her parents are from Vietnam and emigrated to East Germany.

Part of the Series Shared History, Common Future

The event is part of the online series Shared History, Common Future. German Unity in Dialogue. It is organized in cooperation with the German Adult Education Association, the Federal Working Group on Political Basic Education, and the Federal Foundation for the Reappraisal of the SED Dictatorship. This connects the event with professional event planning, political education, and contemporary target group communication.

An Event Experience for the Digital Space

The virtual classroom creates space for focused listening and reflective engagement. The online atmosphere allows participation from home and makes the lecture interesting for people who want to flexibly integrate historical and socio-political topics into their daily lives. The audience's mood arises from shared attention, personal perspectives, and the exchange about the significance of unity.

Conclusion

Visitors can expect an expert online lecture on memory, belonging, and the diverse experiences surrounding German unity.
