Neuengamme Concentration Camp Memorial
About

The Neuengamme Concentration Camp Memorial in Hamburg stands as a powerful site of remembrance and education, located on the grounds of the former Nazi concentration camp that operated from 1938 to 1945. Today, it serves as a place to honor the memory of over 100,000 prisoners who suffered under inhumane conditions, with more than 42,000 losing their lives. The memorial features preserved buildings, exhibitions, and documentation centers that explore the history of the camp, its satellite sites, and the broader system of Nazi persecution. Through personal testimonies, archival materials, and historical analysis, it confronts the legacy of forced labor, political repression, and genocide. Educational programs and guided tours foster critical reflection and dialogue, making it a vital resource for historical awareness and civic responsibility. As part of Hamburg’s commitment to confronting its past, the Neuengamme Memorial invites visitors to engage deeply with the consequences of totalitarianism and the enduring importance of human rights.
