Biographies

More than 20 children from forbidden relationships were found in Germany, Austria and the Netherlands and took part in the "neverthelesse here!" project. With their memories, documents and photos, they laid the foundation for the realisation of the travelling exhibition.

The biographies that form the centrepiece of the exhibition show examples of similarities, but also the diversity in the lives of the project participants. The protagonists themselves have their say in excerpts from video interviews. The stories of the (biological) parents are also traced. In addition, each biography deals with a historical topic related to the life story.

nevertheless here!—Children from forbidden relationships between Germans and prisoners of war or forced labourers is a project of the Sandbostel Camp Memorial sponsored by the Foundation Memory, Responsibility, and Future (EVZ Foundation) and the German Federal Ministry of Finance according to the Education Agenda NS-Injustice.

Cooperative partners are the Neuengamme Concentration Camp Memorial, the project Multi-peRSPEKTif (Denkort Bunker Valentin / Landeszentrale für politische Bildung Bremen) and the Competence Center for Teacher Training Bad Bederkesa.
