National Socialist Documentation Center in Munich opens: A place of learning without originals – STERN

D he. Attorney Michael Siegel, for example, An image showing the Jewish lawyers in 1922 in leather pants and Janker with his little blond curly son Peter. Ten years later, on March 10, 1933. Seal is humiliated and barefoot driven by Munich with a sign around his neck: “I’m going to complain, I never again to the police”. The impressive photo sequence can be seen in the new National Socialist Documentation Center in Munich, which on Thursday – the 70th anniversary of the liberation of the city by the US army -. Will be opened

Siegel was “a completely integrated Jewish citizens (…), which has been marginalized in this March 10th. That’s our theme,” says founding director Winfried Nerdinger.

At the site of the Brown House

In 33 mission statements, the exhibition shows the inglorious career of Munich the capital of the movement, renames current neo-Nazi activities and crimes such as the murders of NSU or by a right-wing extremists committed Oktoberfest assassination in 1980. ‘/ p>

70 years has used for his Munich Documentation Centre. “It has gone into the land of time, more time than elsewhere”, is Bavaria’s Minister of Science Ludwig Spaenle (CSU) to. But it was the anniversary of the liberation “the right time, that this place has taken shape”.

The white cube of concrete stands on the very spot of the former Brown House, the former NSDAP party headquarters. The clearly structured building stands out brightly against the building from where Hitler concentrated his power: south of the administration building, north of the former Fuhrer Building, now home to the music college. On the back still gape deep holes splinters of bombings

The claim:. Do not be a museum

Directly in front, on the Place Royal, the dictator could be in parades celebrate. The Nazi Dokuzentrum am aware of a “Täterort” Nerdinger has always said.

“This part of our history is never abschlossen, because we have to understand it as a job,” says Mayor Dieter Reiter (SPD). “Because what has happened once could happen again if we do not work actively together in solidarity.”

The claim: No Museum. Especially not that. But a learning and remembrance. Especially not originals from the Nazi era as uniforms – so as not revalue museum

But pictures.. A shooting scene: members of the Munich Reserve Police Battalion execute hostages in Slovenia, lifeless bodies, coffins. Or. A cheering crowd at the Königsplatz, thousands of arms in the Hitler salute brought before the Propylaea – which are actually seen in front of the Documentation Centre through the window

Library include copies issued the book titles that were a few meters further burned at Königsplatz on 10 May 1933. In multimedia, interactive tables, visitors can dismantle the Nazi ideology in its various aspects:. Racism, anti-Semitism, nationalism – and bring them together again now better understand ideological statements

Deportation in fast motion

You can view the network of Nazi officials over the years. Or in fast motion the expulsion of Jews from Munich and the deportation to the various camps pursue. A good ten years are summarized in two minutes -. The bright spots that indicate residences of Jews in the city, have disappeared at the end

Remember, do not forget – it’s in the exhibition also around the long way there, through the long detour of repression. Heinrich Eymer about: The gynecologist and professor at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich was involved in the “Law for the Prevention of Genetically Diseased Offspring” – ie to forced sterilization. But 1948 he was reappointed to his former chair, he was in the early 1950s President of the German Society of Gynaecology and received 1953 the Great Verdienstkreu
