How do displaced Ukrainians negotiate memory and identity? Anna Skiba explores how Ukrainian refugees shape transnational memory spaces, drawing parallels to post-1945 Flossenbürg DP camps and today’s struggles for recognition. trafo.hypotheses.org... #Ukraine #MemoryStudies #Displacement

Negotiating What Endures: Exploring Connections Between the Flossenbürg DP Camps and Ukrainian Memory Work Today

By Anna Skiba. How do Ukrainian individuals and organisations in Germany and Norway negotiate what memory and identity to preserve, emphasise, or make visible under conditions of displacement? How does the historical memory context of the host country shapes what is available to them as they do so? The experiences of Ukrainian DPs in Flossenbürg offer an interesting point of comparison here, demonstrating how memory practices can generate agency and visibility amidst uncertainty and displacement.
