Those Who Forget: A conversation with author Géraldine Schwarz

Join us for a special conversation with Géraldine Schwarz, a German-French journalist, author, and documentary filmmaker based in Berlin. During WWII, Géraldine Schwarz’s German grandparents were neither heroes nor villains; they were merely Mitlaüfer—those who followed the current. Once the war ended, they wanted to bury the past. Schwarz's memoir, Those who Forget My Family's Story in Nazi Europe – A Memoir, A History, A Warning weaves together the threads of three generations of her family story with Europe’s process of postwar reckoning. The creation of collective memory, the responsibilities of perpetrator societies, the question of how we remember the past, and the role of history in safeguarding democratic societies will be examined.
