Saxon Memorial Foundation
PLEASE NOTE:
The memorials will remain closed to the public from Monday, 22 November 2021 until 12 December 2021 due to the current Saxon Corona Protection Ordinance.
For further information or enquiries we can always be contacted by e-mail or telephone or please use the digital offerings at the website of the Saxon Memorial Foundation.
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.
