On the basis of two sites visited in Hungary which were elements of the educational programme, the memorial Shoes on the Danube Promenade and the Memento Statue Park, this article suggests that Alison Landsberg's concept of prosthetic memory can be applied to these sculptural monuments. It explores the political potential of empathy in transmitting diverse European pasts and of mapping individual, performative, responses to less familiar cultural contexts.Online-Ressource (PDF-Datei:18 Seiten; 165,3 KB)engAttribution-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/4.0/371.32Online-Publikationurn:nbn:de:0220-2014-00127empathyImperial War MuseumMemento Statue Park BudapestInSiteprosthetic memoryshoes on the Danube promenade
