Public guided tour with the co-curator Miriam Bürer – in German
During the one-hour guided tour, the co-curator of the exhibition "End of Contemporary Witnessing?" offers insights into the concept and the development process. The focus lies not only on the content and technical processing of the museum's collection of interviews with contemporary witnesses, but also on the different ways of expressing narrated memories that are reflected in these interviews. The tour also looks at how the role of survivors and the role of their narratives have changed in cultural history and explores the narratives that fit the interviews preserved at the museum.
