Corona pandemic: Memorials are closed from 14 March

Due to the Corona pandemic all memorials belonging to the Brandenburg Memorials Foundation will be closed for visitors from 14 March. The memorials Sachsenhausen and Ravensbrück will be closed presumably until 15 May 2020. The memorials in Brandenburg an der Havel, the Death March Memorial in Below Forest and the Leistikowstrasse Potsdam Memorial will be closed until futher notice. The closing includes all sites and exhibitions as well as libraries and archives. No educational programs and events will take place either.

Also all events being planned in commemoration of the 75th anniversary of liberation at the Sachsenhausen memorial, the Ravensbrück memorial, the Death March Memorial, and the Brandenburg-Görden Prison Memorial have been cancelled completely. Together with the international comittees of the survivors we will make plans in which way there can be a dignified remembrance of the 75th anniversary of liberation and a commemoration of the victims.
