Liberation Route Europe: A Lecture on a Transnational Memorial (Dec. 5, 2024)

Liberation Route Europe: A Lecture on a Transnational Memorial (Lecture by Mirco Carrattieri) 
Dec. 5, 2024  6pm School of Business 101 Directions

Liberation Route Europe is a transnational memorial, a trail connecting WWII remembrance sites and stories across Europe to document the freeing of the continent from Nazi-Fascism. A prime example of public history for engaged visitors, Liberation Route Europe will be the subject of a lecture by Mirco Carrattieri, Italian representative on the Liberation Route Europe board. Carrattieri is a WWII historian at the University of Bergamo, Italy, and has served as the director of several history museums. His lecture will tackle the complex question “Who remembers what, and for whom? And mostly, why?” and will illustrate how Liberation Route Europe has privileged the physical experience of the lived space along with a multiple set of on-site and digital informational tools that foster an ongoing conversation.

This free program will be of interest to students of History, Modern Languages and Cultures, Political Science, Art and Design, Media and Communication, Education, Leisure and Hospitality, among others. The event is open to the general public as well (local residents, history buffs, artists involved in public projects).

Please reserve your seat here, and feel free to circulate this announcement.

Organized and sponsored by the Inserra Endowed Chair in Italian and Italian American Studies in collaboration with the Italian Program (Department of World Languages and Cultures), and the Department of History (Public and Digital History Program) at Montclair State University.
