European Union of Memories? Holocaust-memory-politics in the European Parliament
Publikation: Konferencebidrag › Paper › Forskning
After a very brief introduction to history and memory in Europe after 1989, as
seen by Aleida Assmann, I will give a short introduction to the EP and to their
adoption of resolutions and declarations. Then I will define some concepts
central to my study before I proceed to the analysis. Finally I will summarise
and briefly discuss my findings.
The analysis will concentrate on how the memory of the Holocaust has
been addressed in the EP from 1989 to 2009. I identify to major changes, one
that occurred in the 1990s and one that came about after the 2004 enlargement
of the EU and I briefly discuss why these changes have come about. Moreover,
I show that there seems to be a political memory split between Left and Right
and I suggest that the time might not be ripe for a shared European memory.
