Sammeltag »Bring your artefact!« mit Podiumsgespräch

In the organizer's words:

The Second World War ended 80 years ago and with it the National Socialist rule in Cologne. But what exactly was it like in Cologne back then? Which places, stories and objects from the National Socialist era have been preserved - and how are they passed on for remembrance? The NS-DOK is exploring these questions as part of a public campaign and in various events: from March 6, 2025, the anniversary of the liberation of the city on the left bank of the Rhine, to June 3 - the day of the first memorial to the victims of National Socialism on Hansaring in 1945.

Do you still have documents, photos, letters, diaries or other items in your family that date back to the Nazi era and could help to research these years in Cologne in more detail? Then bring them to the NS-DOK on March 29 and let our knowledgeable colleagues from the Documentation and Historical Research departments examine and classify them between 11 am and 6 pm. Interested visitors can also view the objects on this day.
