This paper examines how AI systems shape World War II memory conflicts in the digital age. Analyzing search engines, recommender systems, and social media algorithms, it reveals how automated content curation amplifies competing historical narratives and enables memory manipulation. The study demonstrates how algorithmic bias reinforces national memory frameworks, while AI-driven disinformation exploits WWII history for contemporary political goals. Drawing on computational methods and content analysis, the research shows how AI technologies transform traditional memory wars into algorithmic battlegrounds, where visibility, retrieval, and recommendation patterns determine which versions of WWII history reach audiences, particularly impacting contested memories in Eastern Europe.

This presentation examines Holocaust education in Ukraine since February 24, 2022, exploring how teachers navigate difficult historical topics amid ongoing war. Drawing on responses from educators and students, it analyzes the intersection of Holocaust narratives with current conflict experiences. The study reveals how wartime context reshapes historical pedagogy, emotional engagement with traumatic pasts, and students' understanding of genocide and violence. It addresses pedagogical challenges of teaching sensitive histories during active conflict and examines evolving interpretations.

This presentation examines gender dimensions of WWII history and memory, particularly since Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine. It analyzes how gendered narratives of war, victimhood, and perpetration are mobilized in contemporary memory politics. The study explores how wartime sexual violence, women's resistance, and female perpetrators are remembered or erased in competing historical frameworks. Drawing on feminist methodology and oral history, it reveals how gender shapes Holocaust memory transmission and how current conflicts reactivate WWII memories through gendered lenses. The research demonstrates how authoritarian regimes weaponize gendered WWII narratives to justify present violence, while feminist approaches offer alternative frameworks for understanding historical trauma.
