GERMAN RESISTANCE MEMORIAL
Go there and contact
A must-see museum offering comprehensive documentation on German resistance to the Nazi regime between 1933 and 1945.
Too little is known about the fact that Germany counted among its ranks true heroes of the Resistance to Nazism. This very well documented museum, with a modern and adapted museography, does them justice and gives them a face.
In 1944, under the direction of Wehrmacht officer Claus von Stauffenberg (whose name was renamed Memorial Street), Operation Valkyrie aimed to assassinate Hitler and overthrow the Nazi regime. Unfortunately, it failed and the 600 soldiers who took part in the operation were persecuted, if not simply executed almost immediately. But the German Resistance also has the tender face of the Munich students of the Weisse Rose (Hans and Sophie Scholl) and those Christians, social democrats, communists, artists (Marlene Dietrich, Käthe Kollwitz) or intellectuals (Albert Einstein) who had the courage to mobilize and oppose the regime. An audioguide in French is offered free of charge, visits are also available (registration on request at least 6 weeks in advance). A moving exhibition, installed in the former military quarters of the Nazi army. In the courtyard that welcomes the visitor, Stauffenberg and his companions of misfortune were shot on 20 June 1944, after the conspiracy failed.
Don't miss the third floor, with the Stille Helden (Silent Heroes) Memorial Museum, dedicated to the Righteous Among the Nations.
