The Memorial, located behind the Hospital Church in Oberursel, is the place of remembrance for the victims of the German Nazi regime. In 2007, the project was started with the center block and the first figure.
In May 2018, the memorial was completed with the addition of two extra sculptures, the name board, and benches.
To me, this memorial is a symbol of tranquillity and reflection, and it represents the time of terror, horror, and atrocities by the Nazi regime.
I remember my father (born 1922) telling me a story, one of denunciation among village farmers.
A farmer in the village of Maibach (northern Bavaria) informed the SS of a neighbor’s unlawful listening to the enemy radio station. This claim was not true, and only said, because he was envious of his neighbor’s properties.
The SS came to pick up that wrongly accused neighbor, and he was never seen again.
