Event Information and Booking 
In this talk, Professor Schüler-Springorum will give an overview of the entanglements of antisemitism and racism that characterized National Socialism and which led to millions of victims – albeit from very different groups – all over German-dominated Europe. For a variety of reasons, these diverse victim groups have been remembered in different ways which now, in the second decade of the 21st century, have come under close scrutiny.
In public debate the relationship between antisemitism and racism is being reassessed and their relationship to the mass murder of European Jews is now contested. Stephanie Schüler-Springorum proposes that a sober look at historical developments will help put this debate back on its feet and help us move to a more worthy discussion of public memory today.
