The Arson Archive
The process of confronting the National Socialist past, known as German Memory Culture, has been crucial to the nation’s self-confidence after the end of WW2. Germans pride themselves on having confronted the horrors of the Third Reich but fail to face the development of a thriving right-wing extremist culture in recent decades.
The Arson Archive confronts the dangerous gap between the commemoration of National Socialism and the confrontation of the extremist spectrum today. Representing more than 400 arson attacks against refugee accommodations since 1990 the Archive gives a physical presence to a sheer invisible but everlasting heritage of xenophobic hatred.
