Symposium "Rethinking Commemoration" RE.F.U.G.I.U.S. – Rechnitz Refugee and Commemoration Initiative In recent years, we have been confronted with many new challenges concerning the way we commemorate the Shoah: The last contemporary witnesses are dying, the historical message has long since failed to reach all of society, and the warning message commemoration conveys is apparently not enough to prevent anti-semitism from becoming more widespread and more overt. What effect do ritualized days of remembrance still have today? What about the culture of remembrance and what warnings the Shoah holds for the present? And could digital media offer new opportunities? |

Book presentation in commemoration of the 30th anniversary of RE.F.U.G.I.U.S. In February 1991, the RE.F.U.G.I.U.S. - Rechnitzer Flüchtlings- und Gedenkinitiative initiative (Rechnitz Refugee and Commemoration Initiative) was founded around the Anti-Fascist Persons Committee Burgenland and the association "Grenzlos". It set itself the goal of remembering the atrocities of National Socialism and counteracting the process of forgetting. Since then the association has dedicated itself to "commemoration and remembrance": holding commemorative ceremonies, symposia, benefit concerts. In addition, talks and negotiations with public authorities at federal, province and municipal level are intended to initiate a new policy of dealing with the past and a new culture of remembrance in Burgenland. The publication contains a detailed presentation of these processes and may be used as guidance by others. |

Premiere of the musical "Briefe von Ruth" (engl. Letters from Ruth) BRIEFE VON RUTH is about the fate and above all the courage of a young woman at the time of the Nazis to fight against conventions, to constantly question social developments critically in her diaries and letters, a young adolescent on a deep search for identity, her love for a woman, the poet Gunvor Hofmo, whom she meets and falls in love with in the darkest times - at the age of 18 as an emigrant in Norway. Their love lasted until her death, even against medical advice, and Gunvor Hofmo went to prison for weeks for her liberal beliefs. The play shows the life of a girl whose positive strength, astute powers of observation, and literary and artistic creativity had a tangible effect on her fellow human beings right up to her early end, making her testimony all the more stirring. The world premiere is under the honorary protection of the President Alexander Van der Bellen, is produced in cooperation with the New York Opera Society and is a reference project of the cultural capital Bad Ischl- Salzkammergut 2024.
