#Berlin News Digest: Sunday reflects our locked choices. While the Russian ambassador joins a memorial march, the ADAC is officially calling the "Berlin autofrei" initiative a failure, demanding infrastructure that actually works for the grid. 🚧
We celebrate the Galatasaray title, yet we stand over the "Sunken Library" at Bebelplatz, remembering the night the logic was burned. How often do we stare at the wall when the exit is just a waddle away? #BND #Autofrei #MemoryCulture #BerlinPolitics

#Berlin News Digest: We rename our streets to remember our leaders, but we also uncover the bones of the forgotten. Today’s inauguration of Helmut-Kohl-Allee near the CDU headquarters marks a shift in our urban identity. 🌹 Simultaneously, the city celebrates "Free Comic Book Day," a reminder that storytelling—whether through high art in the museums (13.73M visitors!) or panels on a page—is what keeps our logical chains connected. #BND #HelmutKohl #MemoryCulture #BerlinNews

Adam Shatz on German Memory Culture
"To assimilate into German society, the children of Muslim immigrants are discouraged from identifying with the country’s Jewish victims and instructed instead to think of themselves as potential perpetrators of genocide against Jews"

Pre Orders for 1001 Accurate Memories Now Open
From traumatic memory culture to learning with bodies
https://www.alexhead.com/bookstore
In 1001 Accurate Memories Berlin artist Alex Head presents patterns of self-repair amongst the ruins of ideas, relationships and human bodies. The author travels across space and time attempting to gain insights into class, disability and trauma through drawing, writing and photography. His investigation into traumatic memory tempts the author to suggest a shift from Germany’s professed ‘memory culture’ to a ‘traumatic memory culture’, in that traumatic memory is greatly more accurate. Consequently, 1001 Accurate Memories seeks to locate the reader back within their own skin by highlighting our differentiated but ultimately shared anatomy. Birthed from a seven year odyssey into blood, guts and tears, the work proposes that sensations in the body begin wider processes of understanding. By identifying the value of listening to the body in this way, the interpretative role of the human brain becomes more apparent. From this insight stems the ability to see trauma, memory and political propaganda as forms of easily manipulated emotional information. This leads Head to conclude that the primary way to counter such manipulation is the spiritual, physical and mental self-determination of the human body.
There are no special giveaways for pre ordering. The goal is to increase the print run from 100 to 150/200 copies. Each sale creates proportionally more and more copies!
Released first on #Mastodon
Dispatched April-May.

I'm not in the habit of boosting the work of staff writers at The New Yorker, but this essay -- the one that got Masha Gessen's Hannah Arendt Prize ceremony cancelled (they're still getting the actual award) -- is quite good.
There aren't really pull quotes to take out that would do it justice. I recommend just reading it in full. The controversy has whittled the whole thing down to one paragraph about the similarities between Gaza and the Jewish ghettos under the Nazi regime, but that omits a lot. And it's a telling omission.
The actual gist of it is the impossibility, given the nature of a lot of official Holocaust and WWII memory culture, of having an honest discussion about the current fighting in Israel/Palestine specifically, and about victims who are also perpetrators more generally. But even that kind of shortchanges the scope of Gessen's argument.
The cancellation of the award ceremony only appears all the more absurd once you've read the article. If I saw a movie where an article like this produced a response like that, I'd be annoyed because it would just seem too perfect to be believable.
In any event, it's worth reading.

"Some of the great Jewish thinkers who survived the Holocaust spent the rest of their lives trying to tell the world that the horror, while uniquely deadly, should not be seen as an aberration. That the Holocaust happened meant that it was possible—and remains possible." — #MashaGessen #memoryculture

A Commitment to Holocaust Remembrance Does Not Justify Denial of Equal Rights
June 4, 2021 by Alon Confino"If there is a lesson from the Holocaust it should be that all human beings deserve equal rights and a life of dignity. Insisting on Palestinian equal rights (under whatever political arrangement) cannot be deemed antisemitic. Understanding the situation in Israel and Palestine via terms such as Apartheid and settler colonialism, the non-violent social movement BDS, and Palestinian voices of their experience and politics can be debated and opposed but they are not antisemitic. Bill Niven in his contribution criticized Moses for a lack of a balanced approach on some of these issues. This is always a wise advice. But I should point out that the issue is not one of balance but of admitting in Germany that these topics form a legitimate part of the conversation to begin with, and that, at the end of the day, being balanced—or arguing for complexity– should not be used as an argument to hide the violent reality of occupied and occupier."

CW: Suicide, smoking
Music is such a powerful memory activator that we can remember where we first heard a particular album or song.
I listened to The Jam's Greatest Hits album, SNAP at my Uncle's house in about 1983. He was only a few years older than me and had all the cool stuff.
I heard Welcome to the Beautiful South sleeping over at my sister's flat in Settle, Yorkshire, 1991.
Does it work that way for other people?
