But today they are not only places of remembrance, but also focal points of public discussion. More and more people are questioning how these monuments should be interpreted and whether they still fulfill their original function. In many communities they suddenly find themselves in the crossfire of criticism and provoke debates about which memories and values they represent.

How do these monuments influence our view of war and peace? Which memories are preserved and which are forgotten?
