Bis in die 1970er selbst ein Auswanderungsland, wurde Südtirol erst Jahre nach der Stabilisierung durch die Autonomie und den einsetzenden wirtschaftlichen Aufschwung für ausländische Arbeitskräfte attraktiv. Gleichzeitig kamen aufgrund von Kriegen und Konflikten, insbesondere den Jugoslawienkriegen, zunehmend Geflüchtete ins Land. Heute machen Menschen mit ehemals ausländischem Pass rund acht Prozent der Bevölkerung aus. Sie leben und arbeiten in Südtirol, zahlen Steuern, schicken ihre Kinder in die Schule, wählen – sind also Teil der Gesellschaft.

An argument is ongoing in the public sphere over which (hi)stories are present and visible and which are not, who is being recognized and who is not, as well as what is being forgotten, repressed, or tacitly accepted in this context. Corresponding to this general development, a debate is currently ongoing in the German press that has been dubbed “Historikerstreit 2.0,” or “the historians’ debate reloaded.” The controversy was initially sparked by a discussion about the Cameroonian intellectual Achille Mbembe, his position toward the State of Israel, and his involvement with the BDS movement, before continuing on to a discussion about Michael Rothberg's book Multidirectional Memory when it was published in a German translation. Finally, the debates deepened with the controversy surrounding Dirk Moses's polemics concerning an ostensible “German catechism” with regard to Holocaust commemoration.
