Educational agenda Nazi injustice

As part of the “Bildungsagenda NS-Unrecht“, an app is being created with thousands of data on Nazi crimes between 1933 and 1945. The crime scenes where people were victims of Nazi violence are listed on a map of today’s Federal Republic. The aim is to encourage initiatives that research the details of the respective crimes and thus come to terms with German history.

The project is funded by the Federal Ministry of Finance as part of the Nazi injustice education agenda. Numerous other projects began work in June under the coordination of the Foundation Remembrance Responsibility Future (EVZ).  

According to the Foundation EVZ, the projects of the educational agenda on Nazi injustice make the fates of persecuted people and groups visible. The funded projects place a special focus on those who have received less public attention to date. This gives rise to cultural and digital formats that promote exchange and encourage participation.
