The "Hotel Silber" in Stuttgart was used by the police for more than half a century and was the headquarters of the Gestapo for Württemberg and Hohenzollern. In the former site of Nazi terror, a place for historical-political learning and encounter was created as a citizen participation project. The exhibition and various events deal with perpetrators and their victims, with the police institution and their role in three political systems.

While Camp Westerbork is mainly known for the period between 1942 and 1945, it was initially built in the summer of 1939 to house Jewish refugees coming from Germany. The acceptance of Jewish refugees into the Netherlands, however, was initially certainly not the norm. In 1938, after the first overt persecution of the Jews in Germany (the Kristallnacht), the Dutch government had sent 600 extra officials to the borders ‘for the protection of our own people’.

The company was founded by Clement Griscom, who led it from its founding until the International Mercantile Marine Co. took it over in 1902. Red Star Line survived IMM's financial crisis in 1915. In the 1930s Red Star Line was part of Arnold Bernstein Line.

The Hollandse Schouwburg (Dutch theater) was opened on the 5th of May 1892 in the Amsterdam Plantage District, it was designed by the Dutch architect Cornelis Antonius Bombach. Initially it was named the Artis Schouwburg, but two years later it was renamed the Hollandsche Schouwburg. In the beginning of the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands, little changed in the daily life of the theater, but in 1941 the Nazis changed the name of the theater to the Joodse Schouwburg (Jewish Theatre).

Westerbork itself was first and foremost a transit camp, from which deportations took place to Auschwitz, Sobibor, and in a select few cases to Theresienstadt or Bergen-Belsen. On the 15th of July 1942, the first deportation train left the station. From then until the last train on the 13th of September 1944, more than 100.000 people had been deported with 93 trains.

Kamp Amersfoort (Camp Amersfoort) started off as a Dutch military barrack camp named Barakkenkamp Appelweg (Barrack Camp Appel road) and initially consisted of six barracks in a square formation. In 1939, the camp started to house Dutch soldiers that were mobilized to protect the Grebbelinie (Grebbe Line), a forward defense line of the Hollandsche Waterlinie (Dutch Water Line). During this period it started to be known as de Boskamp (Forest Camp), due to the forest that surrounded it.

At the end of July 1940, the German police force, which was a part of the German SS, installed in Belgium. The following month the decision was made to install an Auffanglager in Breendonk to take in the prisoners of the police force. On September 20, 1940 the first prisoners were brought to the Fort. It wasn’t until after January 1941 that the number of prisoners would exceed 100.
