- 1999 Winner Nuremberg International Human Rights Film AwardMemoria creates an emotional and living closeness to a past seemingly long since known. This is thanks to the great ability of the people in front of and behind the camera in handling their past. An important step on the way to come to terms with one's past is the ability to allow for one's own vulnerability, the preparedness to be open for those experiences that can not be coped with. Instead of reconciliation, Memoria offers us humanity and desperation spreading out with great intensity. Memoria was shown under the motto "Remembering for the sake of future". As could be seen with the Walser-Bubis controversy, it is part of our way of dealing with human rights issues, that we, the German people, have to confront ourselves with our own history time and again.
