Commemoration and historical awareness. New challenges for memorial work

In cooperation with the University of Vechta, we are organising a series of lectures on current requirements and new concepts for commemorating the crimes of the National Socialist dictatorship. The lectures take place on Thursdays at 6 pm in lecture theatre Q 15 at the University of Vechta. All events are free of charge and interested parties are cordially invited!
