Visit the memorial

The memorial, which was opened by the association in 1980, is located in the basement of the former school building at Bullenhuser Damm 92-94. For almost 20 years, the memorial was run privately by the association Kinder vom Bullenhuser Damm e.V. until it was recognized by the City of Hamburg in 1999. Today, the memorial belongs to the Hamburg Foundation of Memorials and Places of Learning in Memory of the Victims of Nazi Crimes.

With the expansion of the memorial to include additional basement rooms, a newly conceived and modernly designed exhibition by the Neuengamme Concentration Camp Memorial was reopened on April 20, 2011. The exhibition tells the story of the children murdered here and their caretakers. In contrast, little is known about the Soviet prisoners who were hanged and shot on Bullenhuser Damm on the same night.

The bilingual exhibition (German/English) provides information about the history of the building as a school, as a satellite camp of Neuengamme concentration camp and as a memorial site, the persecution and deportation of Jewish people in the countries occupied by the German Wehrmacht, the medical experiments at Neuengamme concentration camp, the perpetrators and the history of remembrance of the crime. The cellar rooms where the murders took place can be reached via a corridor.
