The Silent Heroes Memorial Center offers online seminars for a range of participants. Seminars can be targeted at school pupils from the age of 13 or German 8th grade, students, army groups, multipliers, and all other groups of young people and adults.
We recommend that online seminar participants have prior knowledge of the National Socialist persecution of the Jews.
During the online seminars, participants use biographical case studies to examine the conditions of living in hiding and helping persecuted people.
The focus is on the questions of how and why people resisted the National Socialist persecution of the Jews, and what scope they had to do so under the conditions of dictatorship and war.
The seminar leader builds on participants’ previous knowledge for the online seminar. Interactive and participative elements encourage dialog. The online seminars work with various media content, including historical photos.

Content focus
The online seminars use specific examples to examine resistance against the National Socialist persecution of Jews in Europe. Jews and helpers are identified as active participants of the resistance who made decisions that required courage. The seminars also illustrate that only few people were willing to help.
With reference to the permanent exhibition, participants will also have the opportunity to select one of the following focus areas to examine in greater depth:
We are also happy to prepare other focus areas by arrangement.
Multipliers
In our online seminars for multipliers, we present the Silent Heroes Memorial Center as a place of learning, including its educational and online programs. The seminars present and discuss case studies that may appeal to young people in particular. They also offer an opportunity to discuss teaching experiences with other multipliers.
