13 years after the so-called National Socialist Underground (NSU) was uncovered, the establishment of a pilot documentation center in Chemnitz is one step closer. Minister of State for Culture Claudia Roth and Saxony's Minister for Democracy Katja Meier (both Greens) handed over funding decisions for the project in Chemnitz.
"The consistent processing of all the dimensions of the NSU murder series and the appropriate remembrance of the victims, which also includes the perspective of those affected, must be part of the German culture of remembrance," said Roth according to a statement on site. The future pilot documentation center in Chemnitz will make a central contribution to this.
During the meeting, Roth and Meier visited the premises of the future documentation center and learned about the involvement of those affected. "Chemnitz is well on the way to becoming a European place of learning about the NSU complex," said Meier.
