„Die letzte Stunde der Nazi-Tyrannei hat geschlagen“. Das Kölner „Volksfrontkomitee“ 1944/45

In the organizer's words:

On November 24, 1944, the state police surrounded the building at Sülzgürtel 8 and arrested leading members of the Cologne "Committee of the Popular Front".

The group united activists from different political backgrounds who had one thing in common: they worked against Nazi rule and for the shaping of a time after Germany's defeat in the war.

80 years after its destruction, Dr. Jan Neubauer, Dr. Thomas Roth (both NS-DOK) and Dr. Markus Thulin (Brauweiler Memorial of the LVR) will focus on the group's activities, its arrest and brutal destruction as well as remembrance after 1945.

In cooperation with the Brauweiler Memorial of the LVR
