ABSTRACT
Focusing on the interface of migration, remembrance, and education, this chapter discusses the relevance of remembrance and memory culture in a plural society by using the example of the Holocaust. It aims at exploring educational approaches to historical education in the context of migration and its transformative potential, and identifies possibilities of how adult education can be enriched by taking into account different (migrant) stories, histories, and memories. The chapter investigates a picture of adult education about the past in a contemporary plural society that considers people’s heterogeneity. Such an educational approach aims at reaching ‘beyond the obvious,’ meaning a (historical) education for and with migrants, that directs not exclusively towards teaching language and professional skills with the aim of assimilation or ‘integration.’ The chapter explores possibilities to deliberate a multiplicity of historical references and perspectives.
