The First Generation of Holocaust Research. Traveling exhibition in cooperation with Touro College Berlin and the Wiener Library in London.

In October 1940, thousands of Jews from Southwest Germany were deported to Gurs. Some of the internees managed to escape this French camp, but more than a thousand died. The majority of the survivors would later be transported to Auschwitz-Birkenau and Sobibor, where they were murdered.

This German and Russian online exhibition "An Unrecht erinnern" / "pomnit nespravedlivost" will focus on Soviet prisoners of war. The exhibition is being created in cooperation with Memorial International Moskau, the memorial sites Ehrenhain Zeithain, Lager Sandbostel and Bergen-Belsen, the German Russian Museum Berlin-Karlshors and the Arolsen Archives.

This website presents 96 digitalized photographs that were taken by Wehrmacht Officer Kurt Seeliger during the German attack on Poland in 1939. They were given to the memorial site by his grandson. This Memorial and Educational Site provides historical context for 25 selected photos in German, English and Polish. The collection can be sorted according to thematic categories or can be localized on a map.

The online exhibition "Silent Testimonies 1939" presents more than 1,000 photographs and 380 pages of diaries and letters by Wehrmacht soldiers of the German attack on Poland in German, English and Polish. We acquired these private photographs and documents through a public call for material. Students of the Public History Master’s Program of the Free University of Berlin digitalized and contextualized the materials in cooperation with the Memorial and Educational Site.
