Contemporary history of Luxembourg

Memory has its own pitfalls, and to provide a more tangible environment for remembering, it was decided to perform oral history interviews for the ongoing research about the “Schueberfouer” funfair on site at the fairground. The assumption was that the space of the “Schueberfouer” could trigger memories and reflections that would otherwise not emerge. However, navigating through a noisy present can prove challenging.
