Memorials, Commemorative Sites, Places of Remembrance

Memorials, Commemorative Sites and Places of Remembrance for the Victims of National Socialism in Munich 1933–1945

Commemoration is a public form of remembrance, and public remembrance an integral part of political culture. For this we need memorials and monuments that accompany us in our everyday lives, urging us to learn from history.

This documentary account by Helga Pfoertner, published in Munich by Herbert Utz Verlag, provides a comprehensive overview of the memorials, commemorative sites and places of remembrance for the victims of National Socialism in Munich. It is also a reference book, published in three volumes with the information ordered alphabetically.

Biographies of the victims of National Socialism are accorded a special place in this book. By portraying the political, religious and ideological motives of members of the resistance, it shows that there are indeed limits to the extent to which people can be influenced.
The book describes how to get to the places of remembrance and can therefore also be used as a thematic guide to the city.
