Sponsoring Association
The Leipzig Nazi Forced Labour Memorial is funded by the sponsoring association "Erinnern an NS-Verbrechen in Leipzig e.V." Together with the Dr-Margarete-Blank Memorial in Panitzsch it was funded by the sponsoring association ”Dr Margarete Blank” e.V. until 2019. The association was established in 1996 by Charlotte Zeitschel (1926-2011), who served as its chairperson until 2010.
The association is presided over by an unsalaried executive board consisting of three persons elected by the members of the association. The honorary executive board oversees and coordinates the work of the staff in charge of the scientific, administrative and educational duties of the memorial.
Honorary Involvement
The memorial relies on the involvement of countless volunteers. Core topics are defined, organisational questions debated and contents discussed during the monthly meetings. The memorial is always grateful for support, e.g. with searching the archives, guided tours, events and simple translations.
Interested parties are encouraged to get in touch with our staff by e-mail, telephone or in person during business hours.
Internship
The opportunity to complete an internship at the memorial generally exists. Because of limited capacities, we are unfortunately unable to provide interns with insurance or accommodation. In addition, we are presently unable to guarantee comprehensive mentoring of interns. Therefore, we are looking forward to interns who are willing to contribute and implement their own ideas and projects.
At the moment, we can not offer the possibility to complete internships.
Supporters
The memorial enjoys institutional backing from the Saxon Memorial Foundation commemorating the victims of political oppression and the Cultural Affairs Office of the City of Leipzig. In addition, its work is financed with dues paid by the members of the association and with donations. Moreover, the memorial is supported by the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research, on whose premises the memorial is located. Many responsibilities and activities arising in the memorial’s daily routine are performed by volunteers.
