This volume focuses on the relationship between history and memory, which is addressed in various ways. Juliane Spitta examines the possibilities and limitations of working with eyewitnesses in historical-political education. She outlines the history of oral history, particularly in Germany, and critically questions the struggles for its integration into historical science and the concepts of "objectivity" and "historical truth." The second part of her text is centered on the concept of trauma. What consequences arise from working with traumatized Holocaust survivors for the understanding and transmission of history? Is there an understanding of traumatic memories within a chronologically sequential framework of the concept of time in the institutionalized and ritualized culture of remembrance?.
