Seminar: Krigens arv
As part of the commemoration of the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Eastern Finnmark, Sør-Varanger Historical Club, in collaboration with Pikene på Broen and Sør-Varanger library, has organized a themed evening.
The artist and filmmaker Siri Hermansen will take part in the programme with her film “Island of Memories” and take part in a panel discussion. The film examines how memories and traumas from World War II have been transferred and received by third-generation descendants of German families.
We gain insight into human adaptation processes, where negotiation mechanisms come into play for the descendant to carry their family’s legacy.
