A large collection of press cuttings in the archive of the Fritz Bauer Forum comes from the journalist and radio editor Kurt Nelhiebel (1927-1924), who reported on the Auschwitz trial in Frankfurt am Main for the monthly magazine of the Jewish Cultural Community of Vienna, Gemeinde, from 1963 onwards.
From 1965, Kurt Nelhiebel was news editor and later head of news at Radio Bremen.
The winner of the Villa Ichon Culture and Peace Prize in Bremen has given the archive an impressive collection of documentation against the forgetting of injustice and failed denazification. His collection of press cuttings from the 1950s onwards, analysed by topic, can be described as a critical commentary on the history of the Federal Republic, specifically on the topics of National Socialism and anti-fascism, failed denazification, right-wing extremism and nationalism as well as threats to basic democratic rights and the social cohesion of society.
