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.

The Reichskriegsgericht 1936–1945
National Socialist Military Justice and the Suppression of Resistance in Europe
Founded in 1936, the Reichskriegsgericht handed down more than 1,300 death sentences in almost 4,000 trials, most of them during the Second World War. Its rulings were by no means limited to Germans or members of the Wehrmacht itself: large numbers of citizens from the countries invaded by Germany stood before the Reichskriegsgericht from 1940 onwards. They were generally people who had put up resistance to the occupation, either individually or as members of resistance organisations in their home countries. The exhibition sheds light on the legal framework, structure and personnel of the Reichskriegsgericht, but more than anything it is a tribute to the biographies of the court´s victims.
