The exhibition "Democracy and Resistance in the Schöneberg town hall" presented the biographies by Theodor Heuss, Martin Katz and Eduard Alexander, then democratically elected district politicians who were victims during the National Socialist persecution. The exhibition project shows its life paths at various locations in the Schöneberg town hall to locate the history of local politics and to expand the district souvenir landscape.

The exhibition is under the patronage of the district councilor Stefan Böltes and is a cooperation between the Museums Tempelhof-Schöneberg with the active museum fascism and resistance in Berlin e.V. and "We were neighbors". The central exhibition in the Sa prison Papestraße memorial will open on April 18, 2024 at 6:00 p.m.

This exhibition is an important contribution to the culture of memory in Berlin. It emphasizes the importance of local history and illustrates the crimes of National Socialism at the local level. The biographies by Heuss, Katz and Alexander serve as examples of resistance to the National Socialist regime and show courage and commitment in the struggle for democracy and freedom.

In the context of Berlin, the memory of persecution and oppression during the Nazi era plays a crucial role. The memory of the victims, such as the district politicians mentioned, is of great importance to become aware of the story and to fight for a democratic future.

It is important that such exhibitions and memorials are supported and visited to keep the memory of the past alive and teach teaching for the present. The biographies of the three politicians are part of the history of Berlin and should not be forgotten. The exhibition offers the opportunity to deal with the dark past and actively work against racism, anti -Semitism and oppression.
