SYMPOSIUM | Commemoration in the future

October 13, 2023, 11:00 AM – 12:45 PM

Location: Paushuize, Kromme Nieuwegracht 49 in Utrecht

Commemorations are complex. There are often all kinds of political, social and individual interests at play that are not always aligned. During the symposium ‘Rethinking the future’, Dr. Aline Sierp from Maastricht University will speak about the context of commemoration from the field of Memory Studies. Sierp worked at KZ-Gedenkstätte Dachau, among others.

The symposium on October 13 is organized on the occasion of the defense of the dissertation ‘Together in Silence. Commemoration, rituals, and coping with war experiences and loss’ by Bertine Mitima-Verloop that same afternoon.

The event will be in Dutch, with Dr. Aline’s presentation in English.
