For decades, queer people were marginalised from the commemoration of those persecuted by National Socialism. Queer activist groups have been instrumental in ensuring that queer experiences and stories now have a place in the culture of remembrance. Nevertheless, there is still much to be understood about their persecution and its consequences since 1945.
Therefore, the Deutsche Gesellschaft e.V. and the GFPS-Polska are inviting ten students from Germany and Poland to take part in the project: Remembrance Podcasts: Persecution of queer people under National Socialism. At three online meetings and a five-day long summer school at the Sachsenhausen memorial site near Berlin we will address the themes of the lives of queer people before and in National Socialism, their incarceration in concentration camps, and the effects of this on queer life after 1945.

The project will revolve around podcasts, which the participants will develop and produce in Polish-German pairs. This way the students will have the opportunity to make an active contribution to the culture of remembrance and can focus on the content that interests them.
