Afterwards, we would like to deal explicitly with the genocide in Dersim, about which very little is known, as well as an analysis of the state policy of Turkization and Islamization in the founding phase of the Turkish Republic. In this way, we would like to contribute to further research into the politics of violence and extermination against ethnic and religious minorities in Turkey. Furthermore, the Dersim Protocol will be assessed as an unrecognized\/unknown genocide from the perspective of international law and genocide research. This part of the conference is also intended to show possibilities for coming to terms with the past in the light of international experience. Finally, the importance of raising awareness of the trauma experienced by societies that have been subjected to genocide will be highlighted. In particular, the transgenerational transmission of a collectively experienced trauma between the different generations and the methods for coping with it will be shown. The conference is intended to contribute to a better understanding of the historical and social traumas of the affected migrant community in local society. To this end, however, the aim is also to shed light on the influence that racism and religious fundamentalism still have within the affected population groups today.<br \/>\nHowever, it also aims to promote a critical debate within migrant<br \/>\ncommunities about the causes and consequences of the various genocides and the policies that led to them. Through this critical engagement with this topic, we hope to strengthen democratic and humanistic values within the affected migrant societies as well.<br \/>\nFurthermore, the awareness of migration as a migration of an individual's mental world from one place to another in the local society is also to be strengthened. Because every person brings their own history, culture, faith and traumas with them, which have their roots in the regions of origin. We believe that a better understanding of the migrant communities with their peculiarities described above will have a positive influence on social interaction here.<br \/>\nDate: Saturday, May 4, 2024<br \/>\nHours: 15:00 - 22:00<br \/>\nLocation: Alte Feuerwache , Melchiorstra\u00dfe 3, 50670 Cologne Cologne<br \/>\nAdmission: 15:00 - 15:30<br \/>\nStart: 15:30<br \/>\nAdmission: 7-10 Euro<br \/>\nOpening speeches, T\u00fcday etc.<br \/>\nSection 1: 16:00- 18:00<br \/>\nProgram:<br \/>\nNation-Building and Violence: The Turkification of Anatolia at the End of the Ottoman Empire<br \/>\nProf. Dr. Hans Lukas Kieser<br \/>\nThe Founding Ideology of the Turkish Republic and the \u201cTertele\u201d of Dersim<br \/>\nKazim G\u00fcndogan (non-fiction author, writer)<br \/>\nDersim's \u201cTertele\u201d in International Law and Genocide Studies<br \/>\nDr. H\u00fcseyin Celik<br \/>\nGenocide \u2013 Trauma \u2013 Reappraisal and Healing Processes<br \/>\nProf. Dr. Jan Ilhan Kizilhan<br \/>\nModeration: Ayse Kalmaz (author, director)<br \/>\nLanguage: German-Turkish simultaneous translation<br \/>\nDiscussion and Q&amp;A session between the panel and the audience<br \/>\n2 .
