Current Focus: 9/11
Memory - Remembrance - Museum
2003
The terrorist
attacks of September 11, 2001, have become an event of world history,
which is explored by historians, museum specialists, archivists,
librarians, and other scientists. Exhibitions aim at keeping alive
the memory of the thousands of victims, recollections are collected
in archives, museums store the relics of the attacks retrieved from
the rubble of the collapsed Twin Towers, from the rubble of the
points of impact at the Pentagon Building and in Pennsylvania. On
the Internet too 9/11 is a day of remembrance. At numerous private
and "official" websites the victims of the attacks are
remembered. In 2002 H-Museum made 9/11 the subject of its
"Current Focus". One year after the event a comprehensive
survey was given of how the terrorist attacks had been reflected
in the remembrance culture of the media as well as in the field
of museums and archives. In 2003 H-Museum wants to document the
situation two years after the momentous series of attacks.
