Imagine standing in a place steeped in a complex and somber history. Just ahead, you see the imposing walls of the old house of correction. Look to your right, where the sunlight casts shadows on the façade. These walls have witnessed not just prisoners but also the tragic events of World War II. Behind you, the Plauer Torturm stands silently, having witnessed many stories of this city. Step a little closer and feel the weight of history in every corner. The memorial here honors the victims of the euthanasia murders, urging us to pause and reflect on humanity and compassion. Visiting this site is not just a journey into the past but a call to our present conscience.
