"Telling about life. Sant'Anna di Stazzema 1944/2024" - An exhibition about the culture of remembrance at the StadtPalais - Museum für Stuttgart
How can a massacre, its survival and life afterwards be told? How do survivors, their children and grandchildren remember? How do representatives of legal and political institutions, civil society actors, journalists and cultural practitioners talk about events that have not been dealt with for decades? What different meanings do places of remembrance and public commemoration events have for these people? The multimedia exhibition "ÜberLeben erzählen. Sant'Anna di Stazzema 1944/2024" at the StadtPalais - Museum für Stuttgart is dedicated to these questions, among others, and can be seen free of charge from November 20 to December 5, 2024.
On August 12, 1944, the SS carried out a massacre in the Italian village of Sant'Anna in which at least 560 people, including around 130 children, were brutally murdered. Ten of the surviving perpetrators were sentenced to life imprisonment in Italy in 2004. However, the Stuttgart public prosecutor's office investigating the case dropped the case on September 26, 2012. The crime remains unpunished to this day.
The exhibition focuses on the stories of the children of Sant'Anna, which can be explored in video and text installations, audio contributions and soundscapes, photos and image montages as well as interactive elements. It was developed jointly by students of ethnology and literary studies at the University of Konstanz.
