Abstract

Memorial bridges. On the exchange between survivors of the Shoah and the Tutsi genocide in Rwanda – The article deals with bridges of memory built by survivors of the genocide against the Tutsi of Rwanda towards the Shoah. Autobiographical texts by Esther Mujawayo and Révérien Rurangwa as well as confrontations with the Tutsi genocide attempted by the French journalists Jean Hatzfeld, Patrick de Saint-Exupéry and the illustrator Hippolyte show that a conscious co-memory exists, which could also be described as »confluent memory«. This stands in contrast to »conflicted memory« and is documented in references to texts from Shoah literature and comparisons that seek to de-exoticize the catastrophe of 1994 and incorporate it into the claim of »Never again Auschwitz!
