„Yolocaust“ oder: „Darf man das?“ Ein Beitrag zum reflektierten Umgang mit Geschichtskultur im Unterricht.

Resumen

„Yolocaust“ or: „Is this allowed?”

The following seminar paper deals with the internet project called “Yolocaust” launched in 2017, which combines selfies within the Holocaust Memorial in Berlin with archival photographs from Nazi extermination camps to question our culture of remembrance. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate how to implement the “Yolocaust” project in history lessons in order to discuss the topic “Holocaust” from a present perspective and to raise the students’ critical awareness of our culture of memory. There is no simple method for introducing this topic best in class; therefore, an interview with Harald Walser, expert in education, combined with literary research is used to provide guidelines about how to teach this topic best.
