The House of the Wannsee Conference Memorial and Educational Site was opened in Berlin in 1992 at the historic location of the meeting held on January 20, 1942. It serves to commemorate that meeting and the consequences it had for Europe’s Jews. As well as the permanent exhibition redesigned in 2020 and the Joseph Wulf Library, the Memorial and Educational Site also offers a wide range of educational programs. The organization designs and runs seminars on historical topics related to Nazism and the Shoah and on contemporary issues connected with political and civic education. In addition to the permanent exhibition and a number of online exhibitions, the House of the Wannsee Conference Memorial and Educational Site regularly curates special exhibitions in Germany and abroad.

The Institute for Municipal History and Remembrance in the City of Munich’s Department of Culture took up its work on January 1, 2022. The new institute wants to take a contemporary and critical look at the history of the city from the early 20th century on and aims to increase the visibility of this part of the city’s past. The Institute works with Munich’s civil society to promote and shape lively engagement with the city’s history and with contemporary remembrance work. The Institute involves a wide range of other organizations in developing citywide programs and events on topics relevant to municipal history. This approach has resulted in the creation of interdisciplinary, multi-perspective history and culture programs based on subsidiarity and dialog, which combine historical retrospection with exploration of social issues that affect us today.
