Commemoration of the death march

Remembrance of the death march of prisoners from the
Dachau concentration camp in April 1945.

"Who remembers which events at what time and for
what reasons?
Who determines whose thoughts and what is remembered?
How does commemoration change over the decades?
How can new generations be convinced of the necessity of commemorating historical events that happened before their birth ? "
