Guided Story

Imagine standing here in a place where engineers and technicians once worked on ovens used for horrific purposes. Look up, those windows? People used to gaze out of them, perhaps unaware of the impact their work would have. Behind you is the city park, a serene contrast to the history held within these walls. Did you know that some of the Topf & Söhne employees claimed they were just doing their job after the war? These justifications raise questions that still matter today. Across the room, you’ll see documents that bring these stories to life. It’s a place that invites you to reflect on the responsibility each of us holds in society.
