AB - Focusing on the relationship between remembering and identity, this paper analyzes the film Almanya – Willkommen in Deutschland, which deals with the identity issues of three generations of Turkish-German immigrants. The film is based on the director Yasemin Şamdereli’s own family story, who belongs to the third generation of Turkish-German immigrants. The film depicts the migration history of the Hüseyin Yilmaz family, who integrated well into German society and created new identities at a time when prejudice and bias against Turks reached their peak in German society due to the ‘Sarrazin Dispute.’ With this film in which the grandparents’ migration story is remembered anew by the grandchildren, this paper explores how the collective memory related to migration, which has existed in a vacuum in German society, is reexamined in a historical context. To this end, this paper gives an overview of the Turkish-German film history up to the third generation since Şamdereli is classified as the third generation of Turkish-German filmmakers, and based on this, the identity problem of the three generations revealed in the film is analyzed. In addition, this paper discusses that the third generation of migration can be called the generation of the postmigration who no longer has direct migration experience. Thus, this generation remembers the migration experience of the first generation in the form of postmemory.
