The projects of the Education Agenda NS-Injustice

The project addresses the relationships between Germans and so-called "foreign workers", which were forbidden under National Socialist law, and in particular the biographies of their descendants. Even after 1945, their parents' history of persecution and their children's experiences of discrimination and exclusion were often taboo and have been lacking in the culture of remembrance until now, and have hardly been investigated academically.

To date, there is neither a museum collection nor an archive documenting the "forgotten Holocaust" against the Sinti and Roma people and their history of persecution. The project aims to fill this gap and add a cultural memory of the persecution of the Sinti and Roma to the existing collection of the Documentation Center.

Can Germany and Greece come to terms with the little-known history of forced labor under the Nazis in occupied Greece? Using innovative and participatory forms of history education and bi-national encounters, projects can strengthen mutual understanding and thus European values.

The artist Paul Goesch (1885-1940) is considered a visionary of modernism. But he was also a psychiatric patient for many years and he was murdered in 1940 in the context of the NS "euthanasia" crimes in the killing facility in Brandenburg an der Havel. The project is developing a participatory curated exhibition on the life and work of Paul Goesch at Brandenburg an der Havel.

The touring exhibition "Culture Rescuers: How to Resist?", which can be visited in Hamburg, Dresden, and Stuttgart in 2024, addresses National Socialist injustice perpetrated against marginalized and persecuted groups and makes it possible to see how victims of National Socialist persecution helped to save culture under the most difficult conditions.

Kampnagel represents contemporary performance, dance and theater in Hamburg for 40 years. So far, there is little evidence of the site's past during the National Socialist era. In the project Kampnagel is regarded as a place of remembrance and also of encounter and the history is reviewed. In doing so, an innovative prototype will be developed which demonstrates a cultural center's critical examination of its own history in the sense of a pioneering, responsible culture of remembrance.

The project "ErinnerungZeit" intends to do more than commemorate the victims of National Socialist injustice. The Berghof Foundation's animated graphic novel creates a digital, peace educational space which promotes critical historical awareness as well as media literacy among young people aged 12 to 17. The graphic novel contributes to a multi-perspective, inclusive and participatory National Socialist culture of remembrance in German-speaking countries.

In the project "What Remains? Interactive Installation on West and East German Postwar Memories", continuities as well as ruptures in German family histories are highlighted, thereby creating a new form of remembrance which does not end with World War II.

Under National Socialism, hundreds of thousands of cultural assets were forcibly sold, stolen, expropriated. The Allied restitution legislation attempted to reverse this theft. The project examines the principles practiced at the time and their afterlife in the so-called "Handreichung".

Antisemitism is a problem for society as a whole – and countering this problem requires a joint effort by all societal players. We want to start in the midst of society, where thousands of people with the most diverse backgrounds meet every day: the workplace.

The project aims to gain a broader perspective on the unique historical phenomenon of the Holocaust and the legal steps taken by Israel and Germany and international institutions to address the consequences of the tragedy and to optimize future strategies for dealing with the past.

The project will open up new ways of remembrance of Jewish life in Germany, Poland and Serbia.

“Walter” was the alias of a myth-enshrouded resistance fighter in Sarajevo, whose identity the Nazi occupiers were unable to find out. In our project, the question “Wer is Walter?” is symbolic of the observation that we in Europe often know little to nothing about the history(s) of resistance to Nazism and Nazi occupation during World War Two in other European countries.
