OPENING CEREMONY: MEMORY DAYS 2021

The 6th edition of MEMORY DAYS 2021 will be open on 19 February at the Rogner Hotel in the physical and virtual presence of partners, local and foreign actors working in the field of memory.

During the opening ceremony a keynote address about “Communism in Albania – Comparative Perspectives” will be delivered by Prof. Oliver Schmitt, Austrian historian.„Communism in Albania is often viewed either as a specific special case, and thus as exotic among the communist regimes; or the country is neglected in comparative studies on communism. The lecture explores the question of how communism in Albania can be incorporated into comparative analyzes and thus made more visible“, - Oliver Schmitt.

The ceremony will be hosted by IDMC and KAS and it is a public event, open via Facebook and Youtube to everyone who has an interest in the issue of dealing with the communist past.

Languages: Albanian, English

Konrad Adenauer (1876- 1967), the co-founder of the Christian Democratic Union and the first Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany, brought together Christian, social, and conservative traditions with liberal traditions. His name is a symbol of the democratic reconstruction of Germany, the deployment of its foreign policy in a transatlantic community of values, the vision of a united Europe, and an orientation towards the social market economy. His spiritual heritage is, at the same time, our duty and commitment.
