Forum February 13 transnational

February 13, 1945 has literally etched itself into Dresden's city history, and the date also has a broad international resonance. The memory of the Allied air raid on Dresden is characterized by countless perspectives, interpretations and battles over interpretation. A large number of international stakeholders from science, literature, art and civil society are dealing with the memories of these events.

Against this background, the question arises: What role did and does transnationality play in the memory of February 13? The interactive Forum 13 February transnational is the first to address this key question comprehensively and systematically. How have international observers looked at February 13 since the end of the Second World War? Did the international interpretations of the attack on Dresden find their way into national and local discourses of remembrance? How did the view from outside change the city of Dresden's perspective on the events? Did it reinforce or change the formation of a Dresden myth? Which stakeholders were and are involved in addition to the official political representatives? What exchange was and is there between them and the various discourses?

The lectures, panels, workshops and excursions at the Forum 13 February transnational, with which we would like to bring science, art, teachers and students/pupils as well as civil society into an exchange, revolve around all of these topics. We will look at the memory of this historical event far beyond the city of Dresden and ask about the consequences for the current manifestations of Dresden's culture of remembrance.
