Remembrance as a political mission: GFMK delegates visit NSU Documentation Center in Chemnitz
Saxony took over the chairmanship of the 36th Conference of Gender Equality and Women’s Affairs Ministers and Senators of the Federal States (GFMK) at the beginning of the year. As part of the cultural program of the pre-conference on 23. – 24 April 2026 in Chemnitz, equal opportunities officers from the federal states visited the documentation center on the NSU complex “Offener Prozess” together with other GMFK delegates from various federal states.
As part of a guided tour of the exhibition, the visitors explored the biographies of the people murdered by the NSU and the role of the Office for the Protection of the Constitution.
Sarah Schulze, State Commissioner for Women’s and Gender Equality Policy in Saxony-Anhalt, comments:
“I find it impressive that those affected and their families are given the space they were often denied.”
Dr. Nora Krzywinski, one of the two managing directors of the Documentation Centre, thanks the visitors:
“We would like to thank the equal opportunities commissioners of the federal states and all representatives of the GFMK for their visit. Dealing with the NSU complex is not a closed chapter. It is a political task, today more than ever. The fact that equality politicians from all over Germany are visiting this location makes it clear that anti-discrimination in all its forms and protection against right-wing violence are an inseparable part of working for a just society.”
