Juri Viehoff, Introduce a European Memory day
V iehoff suggests to launch a European Memory day on 9 May. It already is,
but only few knew it. Now all should have an official holiday on this day in order to commemorate and celebrate European
peace and integration. It's about to promote a common political identity amongst all the citizens of Europe, to overcome
violent nationalism and to celebrate the success of European integration and its vision of peace, democracy and
cooperation. He claims events of transnational celebration, common commemorative symbols and practices which recalls the
horrible decent of Europe into totalitarism and war, and stress the peaceful rebuilding of the Continent after 1945 as a
collective achievement.
