EDITORIAL
Why do we keep remembering? Why do we learn history? Why do we return to the tragic events and testimonies from the world of barbed wire, dehumanization, crematoria and gas chambers? There can be many answers. One of them is: we remember in order to be able to draw conclusions from the past and be able to build a better, safer world. We remember to strengthen our own responsibility.
In this edition pay attention to an article about the FASPE project, in which students of medicine, journalism, law, economics and seminarians face questions about the ethics of their professional groups in the times of German Nazism in order to understand the moral challenges facing them today. The Hope not Hate project also refers to the topic of responsibility, which tries to persuade the big bookstores not to sell extremist or denial publications. Another link to responsibility is the Spanish initiative - representatives of the four largest religions in Spain and many civic institutions have signed a commitment to protect human dignity.
In addition, we write about an extraordinary exhibition of historical objects found in the former German Nazi concentration camp Stutthof, a new portal dedicated to the history of the Roma and Sinti genocide. We also summarize the conference that took place at Millersville University.
I also encourage all our readers to co-operate with us. We would be grateful to receive information about events, projects, publications, exhibitions, conferences or research that we could write about. We also accept proposals for articles. Please do share information about this magazine with others, particularly via social media.
