We had the pleasure of hosting a delegation of over 40 cultural heritage researchers and specialists from 13 European countries who are involved in the study of painful pasts and memory within the International Platform: Memory Lab.The National Museum of Secret Surveillance “House of Leaves” is a co-organizer with Memory Lab which is conducting study visits and seminars in Albania this year. The topic to be discussed is: “Deconstruction of the Past: How Albania is facing its communist past”.Following the visit to the museum, the group had a discussion with the museum’s director, Mrs. Etleva Demollari who introduced to the audience the concept of the museum and educational programs with young people. This activity served to establish contacts with similar European institutions, some of which expressed a desire for cooperation.
