You can watch the video of the opening on YouTube Wolfgang Hauck explains the background of the exhibition, and the structure of the digital exhibition spaces and gives instructions for viewing. He emphasizes the importance of periodic repetition of memory for the formation of historical and social memory, in order to establish a tradition of memory culture that can deal with the unstructured and extensive digital fragments of memory. The exhibition is not a reproduction of something that exists. This virtual presentation is also not documentation, but impressively demonstrates a new format for interactive, digital exhibitions Er betont die Bedeutung von periodischer Wiederholung der Erinnerung für die Bildung eines historischen und sozialen Gedächtnisses, um so eine Tradition der Erinnerungskultur zu etablieren, die mit den unstrukturierten und umfangreichen digitalen Erinnerungsbruchstücken umgehen kann. Die Ausstellung ist keine Wiedergabe von etwas Vorhandenem. Diese virtuelle Präsentation ist auch keine Dokumentation, sondern zeigt eindrucksvoll ein neues Format für interaktive, digitale Ausstellungen
