Irit Dekel studies how societies remember difficult histories, especially Holocaust memory in Germany and how it is expressed in museums, memorials, and public life. Her work also examines antisemitism, philosemitism, and questions of belonging for migrant and minority communities in contemporary Germany. She draws on cultural sociology to analyze how memory is performed, witnessed, and negotiated in public spaces.
