Site of the Bullenhuser Damm Crimes / Tatort Bullenhuser Damm

Overview

Foundation of Hamburg Memorials and Learning Centres Commemorating the Victims of Nazi Crimes

The Memorial honours the memory of 20 Jewish children and at least 28 adults who were murdered by SS men in the basement of the building on 20 April 1945. The 20 Jewish children from different European countries had been deported with their families to the Auschwitz concentration camp in German-occupied Poland. The children were then taken to the Neuengamme concentration camp in November 1944, where the SS carried out pseudo-medical experiments on them. 
The permanent exhibition provides visitors with information about the site as a school and a satellite camp of Neuengamme. It also tells about the pseudo-medical experiments, the victims, how they were murdered, the perpetrators, and how these crimes were dealt with after 1945. Roses can be planted in memory of the victims in a rose garden.
