He especially gave lectures on the radio and participated in discussions broadcast on radio and television. The six CD box set ‘Kultur und Verwaltung: Vorträge und Gespräche’ (Culture and Administration: Lectures and Discussions) documents some of these activities. It consists of three Adorno lectures as well as three discussions between Adorno and Arnold Gehlen (on the public sphere, sociology and the human being, modern art) broadcast by Südwestrundfunk (SWR), a southwest regional public service broadcaster in Germany. The five CD box set ‘Aufarbeitung der Vergangenheit’ (Working Through the Past) documents radio lectures Adorno gave in the years from 1955 until 1969. Although Adorno was a critic of the capitalist culture industry, this does not mean that he opposed popular cultural forms of expression. To the contrary, he himself made an alternative use of radio and television and was an excellent example of mediated public intellectualism.\n\n3.2.7. The Media and Education after Auschwitz\n\nAdorno (1967) in his essay Education after Auschwitz wrote about in the positive role that TV could play in anti-fascist education in Germany after Auschwitz. He argues that the ‘premier demand upon all education is that Auschwitz not happen again’ (19). ‘When I speak of education after Auschwitz, then, I mean two areas: first, children’s education, especially in early childhood; then, general enlightenment, which provides an intellectual, cultural, and social climate in which a recurrence would no longer be possible’ (22). One of the measures of anti-fascist education that Adorno suggests are ‘television programmes […] with consideration of the nerve centres of this particular state of consciousness’, i.e. the authoritarian personality (24).\n\nSince 2010 the Maximilian-Kolbe-Werk, a German NGO, has organised international meetings of young journalists and media studies students with survivors of extermination camps such as Auschwitz, Buchenwald, Dachau, and Sachsenhausen. The idea is that young people create interviews, videos, and reports about the survivors and make use of traditional and online media for disseminating these materials. The project describes itself the following way:\n\nYoung journalists meet survivors of the Nazi regime in the Memorial Sites of Auschwitz and Dachau. They visit together the authentic places of Nazi crimes and conduct interviews. They record the testimonies of survivors as their unique legacy. By means of various media techniques and Web 2.0 applications they produce audio, video and text media pieces and publish them using conventional and new media. They are accompanied by experienced journalists and media educators. In different program units, young people will get the opportunity for personal and professional exchange in the international context. They will approach the following questions: What influence do the media, particularly the Internet, have on the commemorative process? How can young journalists participate in the commemorative discourse today and tomorrow? How can they contribute to the remembrance of the Nazi past and what preventive measures against the influence of rightwing extremists can they meet?1\n\nTheodor W.
