Aleksander Schwarz  Aleksandra Janus 

Red 2

The presentation will address the following questions: how to deal with sites of trauma and include green spaces in commemorating the Holocaust? How to create open, respectful spaces enabling symbolic dialogue between victims and survivors and research, activist, artistic and local communities in times of the ongoing climate crisis?
