Invitation: New posters for A Space to Remember
A Poster at A Space to Remember, Connect and Support
ASpace to Remember is an active, growing memorial by and for the relatives of former prisoners of the Neuengamme concentration camp. Family members from all across the world create, press, and present posters in remembrance of their persecuted family members.
150 relatives have already contributed posters to the memorial since its beginning. Printing plates are made, stored outside the monument, and prepared for printing.
This year’s meeting takes place on the day after the memorial service for the 80th anniversary of the concentration camp’s liberation and the end of the war. Once again, we will print together, socialize, hang up posters, and present some posters to the public.
Relatives that would like to make their own poster are welcome to join us. You can find more information here:
