“Atlas of Remembrance” is a low-threshold, collaborative research and network project with a relational, trilingual database (de, en, span), the Interactive Fritz Bauer Library. Starting with the survivors of the Nazi regime, who had to seek refuge and fight for their rights all over the world, stories of human survival are told.

Against the background of their social, political and societal conditions, they become recognisable as experiences of actors and human rights defenders. We do not analyse the mostly traumatic consequences of violence, war and genocide, of serious human rights violations under civil-military dictatorships, as symptoms of illness, but see them as a defence of human dignity.

The project contributes to research into the causes and prevention of violence, war and genocide. It encourages survivors of violence to experience themselves as actors. We share their stories in order to show solidarity with their struggle for recognition and justice.
