MEMO Youth Study 2023

With "MEMO Germany - Multidimensional Memory Monitor", the Institute for Interdisciplinary Research on Conflict and Violence Bielefeld (IKG) has been researching since 2018 what, how and for what citizens of Germany historically remember. The aim is an empirical documentation of the culture of remembrance prevailing in Germany, recorded in the form of a representative opinion survey addressed to a cross-section of the population. The MEMO Youth Study 2023 is the most comprehensive study of its kind and expands the previous five MEMO surveys (2018-2022) to include the focus group of young adults: the future bearers of memory culture.
