Abstract (may include machine translation)
Seit dem Ende des Kommunismus hat sich das Gedenken an den Holocaust in Ungarn verändert. Das Leiden der Nation und ihre Rolle als zweifaches Opfer der deutschen und sowjetischen Besatzung werden zunehmend ins Zentrum gerückt. Dabei wird die eigene Verantwortung für Verbrechen ausgeblendet. Zugleich tauchen zuvor unterdrückte Erinnerungen auf und fordern dominante Narrative heraus. Dabei spielen die Digitalisierung und das Internet als Raum, in dem jeder Handlungsmöglichkeiten hat, eine wichtige Rolle.
Since the end of communism, remembrance of the Holocaust has changed in Hungary. The nation's suffering and its role as a dual victim of the German and Soviet occupation have increasingly become the focus of attention. At the same time, Hungary's own responsibility for crimes is being hidden. At the same time, previously suppressed memories are emerging and challenging dominant narratives. Digitalization and the internet play an important role here as a space in which everyone has the opportunity to act.
