Trailer Episode 2

Coming soon - Episode 2 of Why Memory Matters in Palestine and Beyond. 

 For our second conversation in this series, we welcome Professor Marianne Hirsch to discuss how the memorialization of traumatic events can be used to justify violence or reinforce prejudiced ideologies.

Additionally, it will examine the concept of connective memories, where different traumatic historical events intersect and coexist, fostering mutual understanding and solidarity.

Why Memory Matters in Palestine and Beyond is a production of the Global Initiative for Justice, Truth, and Reconciliation, which is a flagship program of the International Coalition of Sites of Conscience.
