What does the culture of remembrance surrounding the horrors of the Shoah look like 70 years later? On Saturday (27.1.2018) this is the question the Berliner Ensemble will address. The day of remembrance is organized by the author and journalist Mirna Funk in Berlin and Tel Aviv, and interwoven with her own biography. Connecting The Dots explores the gaps and wounds that Auschwitz has left behind across a variety of formats — from workshops to films and discussions. The commemoration day is intended to bring together Jews and non-Jews alike and aims to start a common dialogue on our personal cultures of remembrance: Were there perpetrators or victims in my family? And how can I reconcile the answers to these questions? Connecting The Dots is more than just a day for remembering — but also a reminder to never stop questioning, listening and reflecting. Take a look at the program here. (Text: Kevin Junk / Photos: Berliner Ensemble / Kirsten Becken)
