The exhibition “The Horror Camps”, displayed in the Reading Room of the Daily Express in London from May 1945, featured enlarged photographs from the liberated Nazi camps. It prompted questions about the relationship between image and evidence, as well as the public use of degrading images, which remain profoundly relevant to this day. We will discuss these questions against the backdrop of changing historical conditions and curatorial practices.The event, in cooperation with the <a href="https://www.history.ac.uk/events/london-images-evidence-bilder-als-beweise-a-roundtable-discussion" title="https://www.history.ac.uk/events/london-images-evidence-bilder-als-beweise-a-roundtable-discussion" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Rethinking Modern Europe Seminar</a> (Institute of Historical Research (IHR)), is part of the series <a href="https://www.dhm.de/museum/ueber-uns/stabsstelle-zur-errichtung-des-dokumentationszentrums-zwbe/facing-nazi-crimes-european-perspectives-after-1945/" title="https://www.dhm.de/museum/ueber-uns/stabsstelle-zur-errichtung-des-dokumentationszentrums-zwbe/facing-nazi-crimes-european-perspectives-after-1945/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Facing Nazi Crimes: European Perspectives after 1945</a> organised by the Deutsches Historisches Museum and the Documentation Centre “German Occupation of Europe in the Second World War”. This European event series explores the social and historical contexts of the early exhibitions on Nazi crimes organised between 1945 and 1948. The series will unfold in the cities where these exhibitions were originally held – Paris, Warsaw, London, Liberec and Bergen-Belsen – and will conclude in Berlin.How did the exhibitions relate to the early visual, documentary, legal, political, and historical efforts to address the German occupation and its crimes? How were they received and what influence did they have on today’s culture of remembrance?Over the course of six evenings, key aspects of the early exhibitions – their origins and their impact – will be presented and discussed with experts from local institutions.The series is offered free of charge and will include a live stream with German interpretation. Recordings of the events will subsequently be made available on the DHM website.
