Exhibition opening

Women's resistance to the National Socialist dictatorship was diverse, risky and courageous. Nevertheless, for decades after 1945, it received little or no attention from the German public.


In 2019, the German Bundestag therefore expressly recognized and honoured "the courage and achievements of women in the resistance against the National Socialist dictatorship". It decided to fund a project by the German Resistance Memorial Foundation to further research the topic and an exhibition.

This exhibition presents the results. The focus is on biographies of female resistance fighters. They show the entire social breadth and ideological diversity of the resistance against the Nazi regime. At the same time, a large number of women who were persecuted by the Nazi justice system because of their resistance are honored for the first time.

Admission free.
