Esterwegen Memorial

Highlight • Historical Site

This place makes you humble and it almost seems as if the birds are singing a little quieter. A visit to the memorial is highly recommended for those who want to see where nationalism and anti-Semitism are leading. Carl von Ossietzky, already mentioned by Sue C and imprisoned here in Esterwegen, had warned against both in 1932 in the magazine “Die Weltbühne” with this sentence: “Anti-Semitism is related to nationalism and its best ally.” Unfortunately, the sentence is still today valid.

If you like to read a little more, about life in the camps, about the song of the "Moorsoldaten", this article from Spiegel will serve you very well: spiegel.de/einestages/die-moorsoldaten-vom-kz- song-to-the-world-hit-a-1224223.html
