The panel is part of the project “Between memory and oblivion: WWII places of memory”, developed by Documenta and European partners: MMH Dachau and the University of Regensburg (Germany), Associazione 4704 and Topografia per la storia (Italy), APIS Institute and Social Academy Slovenia), to stimulate debate on World War II memorial sites (former concentration camps, forced labor camps, execution sites, prisons, locations of resistance…) and to confront abandonment of these places, as well as the forgetting stories of victims and survivors, which we often face.

The project is funded by the European Union, through the Europe for Citizens program.
