Wer kann was wann wie erinnern – in der Auseinandersetzung um Geschichte geht es im um die Deutungshoheit in der Gegenwart

Ein Beispiel für diese Arbeit ist das israelische Institut Akevot

Akevot Institute for Israeli-Palestinian Conflict Research was founded in 2014 out of a recognition of the unique role archives can play in breaking conflict-enhancing myths, fostering fact-based discourse, and supporting the work of human rights defenders.  We make archives a tool for change by researching and exposing mechanisms, processes and events who play a role in the perpetuation of the Conflict. We assist human rights defenders and civil society organizations in accessing archival documentation relevant to their work. We campaign to expand the public’s access to government archives to promote transparency and freedom of information.
