Throughout Germany post World War Two monuments can be found in all shapes and sizes. But what they are memorialising is unique: ‘Erinnerungskultur’ – ‘culture of memory’.

This 30 minute documentary explores Germany’s extraordinary post World War Two memorial culture, featuring Gunter Demnig, Keith Lowe, Dr Sabrina Mittermeier and Professor Dr. Susan Neiman.
