“in plain view”

The Nazis turned the synagogue on Levetzowstraße 7-8 into a detention camp and the starting point for the deportation to the extermination camps. In November 1942, the retirement home on Große Hamburger Straße was turned into the main detention camp. Starting from these so-called collection sites, more than 32,000 Jewish citizens of Berlin  were forcibly taken to the Moabit Freight Station on Quitzowstraße, the Berlin station that was the starting point for the largest number of deportations, and transported to their destinations from there.  

The deportations were by no means hidden and did not happen in secret, but for everybody to see. Topics for discussion will include how to deal with historic traces, forms of remembrance in the past and present through the Stolpersteine (stumbling stones), memorials and remembrance sites.
