Speak the name of someone who was deported during the Second World War.
These are five names that were taken away at Kazerne Dossin. Five of the 25,843 people reduced to numbers by the Nazis. Numbers on a transport list destined for concentration camps and extermination centres. And they all have their own individual story. Which story will you be connected with?
What is the goal?
With the project Every name matters Kazerne Dossin wants to remember the people that were deported from the Dossinkazerne. Each name will be read by a unique visitor. After completion all recordings will be played in the Memorial. By reading the names out loud the participants will create an auditory monument 25,843 times over for all those who were deported. In the place where their names were taken from them, we want to give them back, together with you.
