Under Nazism, there were many offices and local authorities responsible forplanning and carrying out the regime’s Europe-wide campaigns of persecution and murder in the capital of the German Reich, Berlin. After 1945, the history of many of these sites in both East and West Berlin was glossed over. Any attempt to remember was constrained for decades by a tendency in German society to want to forget as well as Cold War issues.
A first exhibition on Germany’s handling of key sites of Nazi perpetrators in West Berlin was mounted in 2017 and followed in early 2020 by a presentation on East Berlin. These two parts are now being presented together.
