Dr Bastian Fleermann:
‘From the first to the very last day in Düsseldorf, there was resistance from very courageous men and women, from very different directions.’
When the Second World War ended in 1945, it was a liberation for Europe and also for Germany. Today, Düsseldorf is home to the third-largest Jewish community in Germany. The Mahn- und Gedenkstätte, a museum dedicated to portraying this period in Düsseldorf, has initiated an extensive month-long programme to commemorate this event.
On 27 January 1945, the Auschwitz concentration camp was liberated by the 322nd Infantry Division of the 60th Army of the I Ukrainian Front under the command of Colonel General Pavel Alexeyevich Kurochkin. What many people probably don't realise today is that there were satellite camps in Düsseldorf. The city was undeniably a witness. Visible to all citizens, the concentration camp prisoners marched through the city in their striped prisoner clothing. A large part of the interview is dedicated to the courageous men and women who formed the resistance in Düsseldorf.
