„Die Betreffenden sind zu vernichten“ – Gestapogewalt bis zuletzt

In the organizer's words:

The Gestapo compensated for the exceptional circumstances and loss of control in the German cities, which were increasingly destroyed from 1943 onwards, with massive violence. The stability of the "home front" was considered crucial to the war effort. On October 25 and November 10, 1944, the Cologne Gestapo murdered 24 men and young people in two public executions in Ehrenfeld. On the occasion of the 80th anniversary, Dr. Markus Günnewig (Steinwache Memorial in Dortmund) places these acts in a wider context.
