Ein Platz im Gedächtnis

In the organizer's words:

Inclusive theater project on the culture of remembrance in Heidelberg / theater+ DGS

We want to commemorate, but not in silence. We want to remember, but not alone. We want to talk about the past, loudly and with many voices. We make room in our memory.

From 1934, hundreds of thousands of people were forcibly sterilized and murdered as part of the crimes committed by the Nazi regime against people with disabilities and the sick. Among them were people from Heidelberg and the surrounding area. Today they are immortalized in files, they are a diagnosis and sometimes even a name on a memorial plaque. But who were these people? What might have moved them?

The inclusive ensemble follows in the footsteps of Heidelberg citizens and gives their biographies a tangible space in the city's history.
