1. Uppdrag: Historia och demokrati. Perspektiv på studieresor till Förintelsens minnesplatser
Sammanfattning : Förintelsen som absolut moralisk referenspunkt i det senmoderna samhället innebär att undervisning och lärande om Förintelsen tillmäts stor vikt inom utbildningssektorn. Sedan millenniumskiftet har studieresor till Förintelsens minnesplatser vuxit fram som en gräsrotsrörelse inom den svenska skolan, och bidragit till att omkring var fjärde svensk tjugoåring besökt museet Auschwitz-Birkenau.

Sammanfattning : Focusing on the memories of Estonian refugees moving to Sweden in the wake of World War II, I analyze the concepts of “memory space” and history within the framework of the Escape as a master narrative. Following the research participants to the sites of their memories in Estonia and Sweden today, raised the questions what constitutes a lived memory space, and how is history defined within it?Through a combination of a phenomenological analysis of memory’s lived experience, using Walter Benjamin’s concept of montage as radical remembering and its dialectical relation to history, I show how embodied memories shape their own space, a space not always framed by historical master narratives and identity positions, but rather a searching space that is always changing.
