Guided Story

Imagine standing here, where once people were forced to labor against their will. Can you feel the gentle breeze that whispers tales of courage and hardship? Behind you, not far, stands the bust of Johann Adolf Hasse. But here, this memorial sings a different tune—a silent symphony of remembrance. Look up, notice the stark lines and simplicity of the monument. It quietly speaks to us, asking us to pause and consider how we protect freedom and humanity today. This place is more than a monument; it is a call to remember and reflect.
