Dagesh | Rückblick: Dagesh-Netzwerktreffen anlässlich der Buchpremiere von Anna Schapiro
The Westfalen-Blatt newspaper on 21 June and the Neue Westfälische newspaper on 24 June 2025 both reported twice on our DoT workshops in Bad Oeynhausen: ‘We are delighted that we were able to bring this fantastic project to Bad Oeynhausen,’ emphasised Claudia Jenkes from the municipal cultural department and history teacher Kai-Uwe Klatz from the Europaschule school. The young people had a choice of two workshops: In the ‘Magazine of Ideas’ workshop, which took place on the premises of the multi-generational house, the young people designed their own journal under the guidance of installation artist Sonia Knop. In the Sonderfahrt youth café, the ‘Let’s talk music’ workshop with musician Yael Gat focused on Jewish music and its languages. The two artists were each supported by an art teacher.”
“Historical responsibility cannot be voted away.” With these words, the Buchenwald and Mittelbau-Dora Memorials Foundation called on the federal and state governments last Sunday to legally safeguard the independence of memorial sites – particularly in Saxony-Anhalt – by: through funding structures that ensure these institutions remain operational even in the event of a politically motivated withdrawal of state funding; through the targeted involvement of smaller memorial sites and local initiatives; and through the expansion of existing networks for joint educational work, legal advice and public support in the event of attacks on the institutions and their staff.
