Ich möchte auf einen Workshop hinweisen, an dem ich persönlich beteiligt bin. Hier die offizielle Ankündigung: From Patriotic Memory to a Universalistic Narrative. Shifts in Norwegian Memory Culture after 1945  in Comparative Perspective, Oslo, March 2013On the occasion of the International Holocaust Remembrance Day on 27 January 2012, Norwegian Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg publicly apologized for the participation of Norwegians in the mass murder of European Jews during the Second World War. However, without relating it to the fascist Nasjonal Samling (NS). At the same time, he praised those citizens who had abstained from participation in the deportation of Jews or even opposed the Holocaust in Norway in the Second World War.This statement has been a landmark in the turn to a self-critical memory. It is based on universalistic notions of human rights that have also emerged in other West European countries. It contrasts to a more patriotic memory that had highlighted military sabotage and the civic resistance against the German occupiers and their collaborators of the NS from 1940 to 1945. This narrative that had shaped public memory in Norway in the first three decades after the Second World War had been strongly tied to the appreciation of Norwegian democracy. Although the patriotic narrative had started to erode from the 1980s onwards, the recent shift to a universalistic memory that is based on more general notions of human rights and the commemoration of the Holocaust has been a major shift in Norway’s memorial culture.The workshop focuses on these developments of Norwegian memory culture. Particular attention will be paid to the comparative perspective as well as to transnational relations between Norway and its European partners, in particular the Netherlands and Denmark.The workshop will take place at HL-Senteret Oslo on 15 and 16 March 2013.
