The Documentation Centre
The Documentation Centre for Displacement, Expulsion, Reconciliation was opened in June 2021 as a unique place of learning and remembrance on the topic of displacement, expulsion and forced migration, especially in the 20th century in Europe and beyond. The Federal Foundation for Displacement, Expulsion, Reconciliation is responsible for the documentation centre.
