Hamburg and Memorial

For 15 years, the Hamburg Senate has been planning to build a documentation center in Lohsepark in HafenCity to depict the deportation of Jews, Sinti, and Roma during the Nazi era. Because the project is stalled, an open letter has now been published.

It is addressed to First Mayor Peter Tschentscher (SPD) and private sponsor Harm Müller-Spreer. The realization of the documentation center at the former Hanoverian Railway Station is in jeopardy, and the Senate’s credibility is therefore at stake. This is the message from representatives of the Auschwitz Committee in Hamburg.
