What happens, when individuals share common experiences, which were made long ago? What kinds of memory-expression can be found in such situations? Why do people remember historical events, which happened generations ago? What are the impacts of such memory-cultures upon cultural identity, resilience and compassion for these people and the next generations?

Researchers, who are involved in such questions concerning Baltic events like German and Soviet Occupation, Shoa, Deportation, Exile and Diaspora, are invited to share their projects, ideas, challenges and results with international colleagues (20 minutes presentation, 10 Minutes discussion).

Please send your personal data, your questions and remarks and a short abstract (10-20 lines) of the project to:
