Memorials are crime scenes of history, places of remembrance for the victims of the Holocaust, and with their exhibitions, centers of political education.
This traveling exhibition aims to provide a visual and informative overview of the memorials commemorating the Nazi crimes in Germany and Europe. The author team Maria Zarada and Nils Oskamp has so far documented over 33 memorials in Germany and abroad with their cameras. The exhibition is intended, among other things, to assist in planning memorial visits with schools. The exhibition is accompanied by an online offering and a printed brochure.
