Radoslav Ganev reports on the work of the project “Unbroken - The Song of Survivors” on the history of the persecution and resistance of Sinti/Sintize and Roma/Romnja during and after National Socialism: How did the idea of an anime musical come about? And how do members of the Sinti and Roma community contribute to the project?
The participants talk about their performance in a diverse ensemble, about their personal connection to contemporary witnesses and about the urgency of dealing with the history of National Socialism.

The project "überLEBENSWEGE" focused on marginalized groups of victims and historical sites in Brandenburg and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, such as the former sanatorium and nursing home Domjüch-Neustrelitz and the satellite camp Schlieben-Berga – interlinking the history of these sites with the stories of their victims.
The newly launched website of Wolfenbüttel Prison memorial site contains biographies of the individuals concerned, interviews with contemporary witnesses, and a glossary on the subject of compensation for those convicted under the Nazi judiciary system in western Europe.
