Key note: Dr. Christoph Dieckmann, Fritz Bauer Institute, on killing sites in Lithuania in 1941

"Killing Sites in 1941: History and Memory" The key-note lecture on the opening day of the conference “As Mass Murder Began: Identifying and Remembering the Killing Sites of Summer-Fall 1941” was held by Dr Christoph Dieckmann of the Fritz Bauer Institut, Germany, and focused on history and memory in the summer of 1941, with a particular focus on Lithuania. Dr Dieckmann argued that the summer of 1941 marked a huge turning point in the history of the Holocaust and that the radical increase in the number of killings by shooting - rising from 100,000 in 1939 to over 12 million by the end of the war - was due to the sense of impending failure among the German Nazi leadership. Dr Dieckmann also reflected on the potential contribution an international organization such as the IHRA could make to the narrative on killing sites: “It is both a problem and an opportunity that memory is not static. It changes as we learn. The task we have is to talk to each other and to find common grounds to best support this learning process. This is why an organization like IHRA is so fascinating – because it presents a platform for countries to reflect together. No one country has the definitive truth.” From 22-23 March 2017 the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance “As Mass Murder Began: Identifying and Remembering the Killing Sites of Summer-Fall 1941” was held. Over 100 participants attended from 20 countries attended the opening of the conference, including the Vice-Minister of Foreign Affairs of Lithuania, Darius Skusevicius, the US Ambassador, Anne Hall, the German Ambassador, Jutta Schmitz, and the Latvian Ambassador, Einars Semanis. The Polish, Ukranian, Romanian and Belarussian embassies were also represented. Several IHRA Delegates were in attendance including the Head of the Estonian Delegation, the Deputy Head of the Lithuanian Delegation and the former Head of the Luxembourg Delegation. The conference was opened by Markas Zingeris, Director of the Vilna Gaon State Jewish Museum, Lithuania, and IHRA Delegate, Francois Wisard, who was representing the IHRA Chair, Ambassador Benno Baettig. The conference comprised a series of presentations and discussions around the central themes of identification, marking and commemoration of sites as well as practical workshops focusing on the process of finding and identifying killing sites, topics related to research, archives, interviews, databases, preservation, and maintenance. The geographical focus of the conference was on the Baltic States, Belarus, Ukraine and Romania. During the panels, speakers touched on challenges ranging from dealing with privately owned sites, ensuring the implementation of existing laws and what type of information is needed on-site to best support pedagogical efforts.
