An open archive

The struggle against racism is an integral part of this country’s history. Whether immigrants, travelers passing through, or people born here—those who have experienced racism, anti-Semitism, and discrimination have been fighting for decades for equality and social change. Their demands for participation and their projects against racism and oppression have significantly shaped society. Yet their stories and perspectives remain largely invisible and untold. Their knowledge, experiences, and voices are either exploited or absent from the culture of remembrance and official archives.

Together with many people from East, West, and reunified Germany, the museum has been working for some time to tell the stories of the struggles against racism and antisemitism. Together, they are seeking new ways to collect, process, and present this history.

An open archive featuring the initial results of this collaborative research has been established at the FHXB Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg Museum. It consists of a collection of fragments and found objects that will continue to grow through workshops and with the support of visitors. The open archive is intended to become a space for debate that brings together past experiences with current debates and struggles against antisemitism, racism, and all forms of discrimination.

A collaborative project of Georg-August University of Göttingen, Kiel University of Applied Sciences, the Documentation Center and Museum on Migration in Germany (DOMiD), and the FHXB Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg Museum.

Funded by the Federal Agency for Civic Education.
