80 years after the end of the Second World War: The significance of 8 May in the past and present

On the 80th anniversary of the end of the Second World War, we want to look at the events surrounding the end of the war in Schleswig-Holstein and scrutinise why the north played a particularly inglorious role in the final days of the Nazi regime (last Reich government in Flensburg-Mürwik, ‘Rattenlinie Nord’ etc.). It is also about the contemporary communication of Nazi history in general and the memory of 8 May 1945 in particular: How can and do we want to remember the end of the war? What contemporary references arise from 8 May, especially for young people?
