Resistance against National Socialism
The German Resistance Memorial Center is a site of remembrance, political studies, active learning, documentation, and research. An extensive permanent exhibition, a series of temporary special exhibitions, events, and a range of publications document and illustrate resistance to National Socialism. The center's goal is to show how individual persons and groups took action against the National Socialist dictatorship from 1933 to 1945 and made use of what freedom of action they had.

Current Special Exhibition
”… this Enemy is on the Right!“
The Fight against National Socialism before 1933
Numerous democrats in the political and societal sectors warned from an early point of the dangers posed to Germany‘s first parliamentary democracy by its völkisch, antisemitic, extreme-right, and National Socialist opponents.
The exhibition uses biographies of 27 dedicated men and women to show examples of the fight against National Socialism before 1933, making clear that the Weimar Republic was by no means a “democracy without democrats.”
