The Prelude to Terror - Early Concentration Camps under National Socialism

The working group "Memorials at Sites of Early Concentration Camps" brings together memorial sites from all over Germany. The aim is to make the history of the early camps better known and to raise awareness of today's anti-democratic developments by examining their function in the National Socialist system of rule.

On the occasion of the 90th anniversary of the "Reichstag Fire Decree" of 28 February 1933, the members of the WG jointly developed the exhibition "Prelude to Terror".
