Museum

The Centre is dedicated to the one event of the World War II history, to the suffering of 30 April 1944 when 269 inhabitants of Lipa were killed in just a few hours. Victims were all civilians, mainly elderly people, women and children. This crime was committed by the Nazis and Fascists during the Braunschweig offensive, a military operation aimed against the partisans. The killings of civilians were followed by ransacking and arson of their homes and outbuildings.

The museum is dedicated to the Warsaw Uprising of 1944. It sponsors research into the history of the uprising, and the history and possessions of the Polish Underground State. It collects and maintains hundreds of artifacts — ranging from weapons used by the insurgents to love letters — to present a full picture of the people involved. The museum's stated goals include the creation of an archive of historical information on the uprising and the recording of the stories and memories of living participants.

The NS-Documentation Center of the City of Cologne is probably the first institution worldwide to offer a 360-degree tour of the Memorial and permanent exhibition, both supported by an audio guide in eight languages. In addition, this ambitious tour offers far more than a simple view into the rooms. Every media station of the exhibition offers a wide range of content through film and audio which is also available online for individuals who cannot visit the exhibition in person.

The Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum was created by an act of the Polish parliament on July 2, 1947, and includes the grounds of two extant parts of the Auschwitz I and Auschwitz II-Birkenau concentration camps. The Museum grounds cover 191 hectares, of which 20 are at Auschwitz I and 171 at Auschwitz II-Birkenau. On the museum grounds stand several hundred camp buildings and ruins, including the ruins of the gas chambers and crematoria, over a dozen kilometers of camp fence, camp roads, and the railroad spur ("ramp") at Birkenau.

Housed in a newly redesigned building since 2015, the Gulag History Museum is Moscow’s main exhibition space and educational center devoted to the Soviet Union’s sprawling network of forced labor camps. From the Great Terror (1937-38) to the birth and development of the Gulag system to the difficult reintegration of prisoners in the post-Stalin era, the museum documents decades of Soviet repression in meticulous detail.

Over the centuries, the Alps have been a place of refuge and hospitality. During the second world war, a time of fierce racial and political persecution, the Valpelline valley was swept with a large number of people fleeing to the neutral territory of Switzerland.

The Musée de l'Appel de la liberté, also called the "Museum of the Resistance", is an exceptional display of the period 1939-1945. The very judicious choice of objects and the ingenuity of their presentation make it an educational museum.

During the Nazi occupation of Luxembourg (May 1940 – September 1944), the train station in Hollerich served as one of the main gathering sites and departure points for young Luxembourgers forced to join the German labour service ( the “RAD”) and the German military service.

Furthermore, thousands of politically unfavourable Luxembourgers were deported from Hollerich.

This evocative memorial to people who died because of Communism in Romania occupies a former prison in Maramures, not far from the Ukraine border. Each of the cells, including the one where former Prime Minister Iuliu Maniu died, is an exhibition space.

The Günter Litfin Memorial is part of the Berlin Wall Foundation. The purpose of the foundation is to document and convey the history of the Berlin Wall and the mass migration from the German Democratic Republic as a part and contributory factor of the German division and the East–West conflict in the 20th century. It also aims to preserve historical sites and authentic remains and to provide for a worthy commemoration of the victims of communist tyranny.
