Saxon Memorial Foundation
The memorials of the Saxon Memorial Foundation are open to the public again on the basis of the current Saxon Corona Emergency Ordinance. Please note the relevant visiting rules and the partially changed opening hours.
We develop, sponsor and administer sites in the Free State of Saxony evocative of heinous political crimes, of political persecution, of state terror and state-organised murders of historical significance and implications within and beyond the region. We commemorate victims of political tyranny and the resistance against dictatorships. We keep records for the public.
