On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the University of Hamburg's main building, a ceremony was held on May 13th, 2011. The keynote speaker was Heinz-Elmar Tenorth, Professor of Historical Education in Berlin. Heinz Rieter and Rainer Nicolaysen awarded two lecture hall names, the socio-economic economist Eduard Heimann (1889-1967)(Lecture Hall H) and the lawyer Albrecht Mendelssohn Bartholdy (1874-1936) (Lecture Hall K). Thus, the programme for naming the seven lecture halls of the University's main building after outstanding scientists who were expelled from the Nazi regime came to an end.Detailed information on all names of the lecture hall can be found in the anthology The main building of the University of Hamburg as a place of remembrance, which was published on the occasion of the anniversary.

"Jahrestage und Jubiläen spielen im "Doing History" eine zentrale Rolle: Sie erweitern qualitativ und quantitativ die Kreise der Personen, die "Geschichte" konsumieren und produzieren, zugleich korrespondieren und konkurrieren im Jubiläum verschiedene Medien der Geschichte: Fach- und populärwissenschaftliche Schriften sind dabei nur eine und zumeist nicht die wirkmächtigste Erzählung der Vergangenheit: Auch über Feste und Feiern, Spiele und Inszenierungen werden individuelle und kollektive Identitäten adressiert und Zugehörigkeiten zu (gedachten) Gemeinschaften (re-)produziert. Auch in der Geschichte von Hochschulen und Universitäten spielen Gründungsjubiläen eine zentrale Rolle. Denn Jubiläen generieren eine spezifische Aufmerksamkeit für die Institutionen und produzieren nicht selten eine Vielzahl an Geschichtssorten, in denen nicht nur die Geschichte der Institution thematisiert, sondern die Institution selbst reproduziert, reifiziert oder auch reformiert wird. Das Geschichte-Machen ist somit Ausdruck des Ringens um das institutionelle Selbstverständnis zum Zeitpunkt des Jubiläums und eignet sich, umreflektierte und unreflektierte Selbstzuschreibungen zu untersuchen. Die Beschäftigung mit Hochschuljubiläen ermöglicht dadurch nicht nur die Perspektivierung vergangener Gegenwarten, sondern rekurriert auch auf vergangene Zukunftserwartungen und die Rolle, die Geschichte darin spielen sollte. Der Sammelband adressiert diese Fragen anhand zwei eng verwobener Schwerpunkt-- der identitätsstiftenden Funktion von Jubiläen und den in ihnen zutage kommenden Geschichtssorten-- am Beispiel verschiedener Hochschultypen in Belgien, Dänemark, Deutschland, Frankreich, Österreich und der Schweiz in einer longue durée von der Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts bis in die Gegenwart."-- Publisher's website. "Anniversaries are a central point of reference in our historical culture. But the anniversary also has a story of its own. This is particularly true for universities as training grounds for social elites and as sites that derive their prominent function also from their tradition. Academic foundation anniversaries thus become central occurrences for attributing social relevance to universities, colleges and their members. Various media compete in such anniversaries as individual and collective identities are staged and (re-)produced not only through commemorative publications and speeches, but also through student festivities, public celebrations, or even protests. The 15contributions of this anthology analyze long-past as well as recent European university anniversaries. In doing so, they provide a historical overview of anniversary (media) cultures, and at the same time offer an orientation for critically assessing present day jubilees."-- Publisher's website.

Collective memory transforms historical events into political myths. In this book, Tamir Sorek considers the development of collective memory and national commemoration among the Palestinian citizens of Israel. He charts the popular politicization of four key events—the Nakba, the 1956 Kafr Qasim Massacre, the 1976 Land Day, and the October 2000 killing of twelve Palestinian citizens in Israel—and investigates a range of commemorative sites, including memorial rallies, monuments, poetry, the education system, political summer camps, and individual historical remembrance. These sites have become battlefields between diverse social forces and actors—including Arab political parties, the Israeli government and security services, local authorities, grassroots organizations, journalists, and artists—over representations of the past. Palestinian commemorations are uniquely tied to Palestinian encounters with the Israeli state apparatus, with Jewish Israeli citizens of Israel, and by their position as Israeli citizens themselves. Reflecting longstanding tensions between Palestinian citizens and the Israeli state, as well as growing pressures across Palestinian societies within and beyond Israel, these moments of commemoration distinguish Palestinian citizens not only from Jewish citizens, but from Palestinians elsewhere. Ultimately, Sorek shows that Palestinian citizens have developed commemorations and a collective memory that offers both moments of protest and points of dialogue, that is both cautious and circuitous.
