Interview with Tal from Israel about visiting Auschwitz memorial site

On January 27, 2011, just before the beginning of the commemorative ceremony in Auschwitz-Birkenau, Sebastian conducted an interview with Tal (28), an Israeli participant in the International Meeting 2011. The interview is in English.

Tal works in the Ghetto Fighters' House Museum in the Kibbutz Lohamei Haghetaot. She has visited the State Museum Auschwitz three times, each time in a different setting. In the interview, Tal speaks about the implications of these differences for the way how she, as an individual, is dealing with memory and commemoration. She points out how the multi-national character of the International Meeting 2011, and the diverse composition of the group, are opening up new perspectives. Other issues which are raised in the interview are the importance of authentic places for remembering and commemorating and the (limited) possibilities which web 2.0 is offering for educational work.
