Abstract: BACKGROUND: The inhumane events during the era of National Socialism with persecution, sterilization and mass murder still have consequences and influence individuals and the society. METHOD: By describing the typical steps of trauma therapy (secure - working through - reconnect) the author suggests to use these elements as parts of a "collective trauma therapy". RESULT: The different local actions and events of the commemoration culture in Carinthia are divided into these three areas. CONCLUSION: The Commemoration Culture, very often spread in single events and actions without connection, can thus be planned and structured. The authors hope to be able to contribute to a relief of the horror caused also by transgenerational phenomena.
