Interview with Dorota about the memory of Auschwitz in Poland

On January 27, 2011, just before the beginning of the commemorative ceremony in Auschwitz-Birkenau, Sebastian conducted an interview with Dorota (25), a Polish participant in the International Meeting 2011. The interview is in two languages: the questions were posed in English, and the answers given in Polish. It deals with the significance of Auschwitz-Birkenau for herself and in Polish culture and collective memory, as well as the differences in commemorative practices depending on the specific circumstances of a visit. The topic of web 2.0 and its potential for future practices of remembering and commemorating Nazi crimes in Europe is only touched briefly before the beginning of the ceremony.
