History is a significant factor determing current individual and social development.

Memory thereby shapes the character of present - personal and individual - thought and activity.

Literally speaking, memory assumes that one does not close one’s eyes to reality.

acting art of memory supports the perception of history and its underlying causes, the debate on form and content, and a vital culture of remembering.

In this context, publicly perceptible projects which awaken memories of the Nazi period of German history and its continuous international repercussions are centrally relevant.
