Remembrance allows us to see things differently in retrospect. Changing historical awareness in Oberhausen constantly contributes to a NEW perception of the past. The current exhibition “Cracks in the Stone” is amazing! As drastic as the first dedication plaque from 1962 (which was practically replaced), the historic presence will be redesigned in the near future. This is obviously not just a theoretical matter for discussion. The facticity of the often furtive, mostly secretive and often hidden horror in dark times: will it receive a more angular profile in the future or will it be deposited behind a new edge of the wall of a shallow, fading oblivion? It's very good how the memorial hall (for years) has set a memorable tone. Didactically, by the way, very cleverly done. Exemplary culture of remembrance.

Very interesting documentation of Oberhausen's history.

Working through history is always good! Implementation is rather semi-realistic, you need peace and a lot of time to read through the whole thing completely! But it has its right to exist...

A new exhibition. "Some were neighbors" A new force. Visually well constructed. The fragmentary showing of frightening parallels could be taken from today's BILD newspaper. Impressions that slow you down, make you quiet. They incite concentrated, inner anger and a feeling of impotent melancholy. This didactically high-quality show is sorely needed. Bitterly necessary for our generation, which is so rarely able to come into close contact with the culture of remembrance. It's good that a little bit of salt was put into almost closed, scabbed and scarred NZ wounds. Meaningful and meaningful!

I haven't been inside the memorial hall yet but I can provide a few photos from the outside. 📸

It's not far to walk to the center

Very nice

The only place in the region dedicated to this historical episode. My grandfather was a prisoner of war on the quays of Rhurs. . how to find the trace.
