Background:
The inhumane events during the era of National Socialism with persecution, sterilization and mass murder still have consequences and influence individuals and the society.
Method:
By describing the typical steps of trauma therapy (secure - working through - reconnect) the author suggests to use these elements as parts of a "collective trauma therapy".
Result:
The different local actions and events of the commemoration culture in Carinthia are divided into these three areas.
Conclusion:
The Commemoration Culture, very often spread in single events and actions without connection, can thus be planned and structured. The authors hope to be able to contribute to a relief of the horror caused also by transgenerational phenomena.
