The City Museum of Cottbus will open the traveling exhibition “The Denied. Victims of National Socialism 1933–1945 – Today” on October 7, 2026. The exhibition is dedicated to people who were persecuted during the National Socialist regime and have long been insufficiently recognized or publicly acknowledged as victims.
The focus is on the memory of the victims of National Socialism and the question of what significance their fate holds for the present day. The exhibition title refers to the denial, repression, and forgetting of life stories as well as the responsibility to make historical experiences visible and to pass them on.
Opening at the City Museum of Cottbus
The exhibition opening will take place at the City Museum of Cottbus. As a traveling exhibition, “The Denied” brings its content to Cottbus and invites visitors to engage with the years 1933 to 1945 and the current treatment of the victims of National Socialism.
The visit provides an occasion for a quiet and contemplative engagement with history, memory culture, and social responsibility. The exhibition is aimed at all who are interested in the history of National Socialism, the fates of its victims, and the significance of remembering in the present.
