The "Lower Saxony Memorials Development Department" is a department of the Lower Saxony Memorials Foundation based in Celle. We are dedicated to the promotion and further development of the culture of remembrance of the history and crimes of National Socialism in the state of Lower Saxony.

Our tasks

We are committed to the culture of remembrance in Lower Saxony and Bremen:

In addition to providing financial support, advice and training for places of remembrance of Nazi history and initiatives, we are also involved in the areas of research and documentation as well as education, mediation and outreach. Our archival collection and specialised library with a focus on regional Nazi history are available to all interested parties (by appointment). We make the concerns and themes of the Nazi-related landscape of remembrance in Lower Saxony visible and are available as contacts and advisors for local authorities, academia and civil society.
