Foundation Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe
The Foundation Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe was created in 2000. Its initial task was to establish and maintain the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe in central Berlin. The Foundation now oversees three additional memorials which commemorate the Sinti and Roma and the homosexuals murdered under National Socialism and the victims of the Nazi »euthanasia« murders. Through a wide range of exhibitions and publications, the Foundation remembers the fate of these groups and the National Socialist crimes committed across Europe. In this way, it promotes an active culture of remembrance and engagement with both past and present.
Flossenbürg Concentration Camp Memorial
Flossenbürg Concentration Camp Memorial is located in the north of Bavaria’s Upper Palatinate region. It remembers the history of the approximately 100,000 people from across Europe who were held in Flossenbürg concentration camp and its subcamps. The two permanent exhibitions at the historic site, opened in 2007 and 2010, inform visitors about the history of the concentration camp and its aftermath up to the present. The memorial has been designed to uncover historical traces and objects, to create multiple opportunities to address the history of National Socialism, and to take account of the significance of this history within present-day commemorative culture.
