在欧洲大陆的知识界之中,记忆的伦理业已成为一个至关重要的组成部分。围绕柏林大屠杀纪念馆的讨论引发了许多思考。这一引人注目的场所的修建过程困难重重:1988年开始有人提议修建,1992年提议建在勃兰登堡门附近,1994年举办了纪念馆设计大赛,结果大赛推举的设计方案被联邦总理否决了,1997年重新召集设计方案,2005年终于破土动工。人们的争论当中包含着许多伦理方面的问题,其中关键的问题如下:该修建纪念馆吗?谁决定的?预算多少?谁该被表现,谁不该?谁是发言人?要传达什么信息?这些问题导引着我们在记忆伦理的言说中前行,亦走向后奥斯维辛 In the intellectual world of continental Europe, the ethics of memory has become a crucial part. The discussions around the Berlin Holocaust memorial aroused much thought. The construction of this spectacular site has been difficult to construct: some proposed construction in 1988, a proposal to build near the Brandenburg Gate in 1992 and a memorial design competition in 1994, which resulted in the contest being rejected by the Federal Chancellor And in 1997, the design plan was re-called and in 2005 it finally broke ground. There are many ethical issues involved in the debate, among which the key questions are: Do you want to build a memorial? Who determines? How much? Who should be represented? Who should? Who is the spokesman? What are the messages to convey? The question leads us forward in memory ethics and toward Auschwitz
