Digital research

The 22 research terminals allow all the texts, images, documents, and media in the exhibition Munich and National Socialism to be accessed in digital form. We also offer more in-depth information on individual topics. In interviews, contemporary witnesses from Munich talk about their experiences of persecution, thus providing a very personal insight into life in Munich before 1945.

A digital lexicon containing more than 900 articles by historians about various topics, places, and people offers a variety of options for individual research and provides a wealth of scholarly information in compact and understandable form. The lexicon can also be accessed on-line.

At one of the terminals you can access the Memory Loops project conceived by the artist Michaela Melián (in German only). Memory Loops is a collage of voices and music comprised of 300 soundtracks that serves as a virtual memorial to the victims of National Socialism.
