Document Summary
In order to understand history itself and its impacts on modern society, one must grasp the concepts of history, memory, and culture. German culture is deeply rooted in many different countries including austria, germany, and switzerland. The memory sites that we are studying in a roadmap through german speaking countries" across these locations are significant elements of german culture that have gained meaning in the cultural sense over the centuries. Many of them are still relevant in today"s society. To be able to fully understand the influence of these memory sites, the basic knowledge of history, memory, and culture can help. The historical background of austria, germany, and switzerland supports ideas expressed in memory sites located there. History can be described as past events or representations of the past, or in more professional terms a construction, based on mixed facts.
