Memorial Sign for Willi Gögel
Due to his disability, little Willi Gögel was deemed "unfit for education" by the Nazi regime. Willi Gögel was only 10 years old when he was murdered in the "paediatric ward" of the Eglfing-Haar sanatorium and nursing home.
The Coordination Centre for the Memorial Signs in the Munich Cultural Department is pleased to present the new website for the Memorial Signs in Munich.
The merchant couple Barbara and Joseph Winter lived with their son Julius Winter in their garden shed at Perlacher Straße 123. They were arrested on 13 March 1943 and deported to the "gypsy camp" in the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration and extermination camp just five days later.
The new memorial plaque for Dr Hugo Daffner has arrived. Following a helpful tip from a researcher, the date of death on the memorial plaque has been corrected.
The network of Memorial Signs is growing constantly. Our map will help you to find the exact locations of Memorial Signs and provide you with short biographies of the people commemorated.
Find out more about how you can help to give the victims of the Nazi regime a place in our city society by applying for a Memorial Sign yourself or by becoming a sponsor.
“Memory is like water: it is vital, and it finds its own way into new spaces and to other people. It is always specific: it has faces in mind, and places, and smells, and sounds. It has no expiry date, and it cannot be declared to be completed or finished by any kind of resolution or ruling.”
Noach Flug (1925-2011), survivor of the Auschwitz Concentration Camp and President of the International Auschwitz Committee
