Participation NaziCrimesAtlas

We invite you:

Together with schools, associations and all interested parties, we would like to examine the history of various places in more detail. We are aimed at anyone who wants to remember Nazi crimes in their city and tell the stories of victims and perpetrators. Texts, images and other content can easily be added to the app. Please contact us.

Online workshops for your practice

We will show you the functions and possibilities of using the NaziCrimesAtlas. You will learn how to make your local remembrance work visible with the app.

In three introductory workshops, we will show you the functions and address your interests and questions. We will discuss the following topics:

  • Editorial formats and technical specifications
  • Carry out searches with the app
  • Implementing educational projects and a culture of remembrance
  • Best Practice
  • The three introductory workshops provide an introduction to working with the NaziCrimesAtlas. We adapt each workshop to the interests of the participants.
