🏢 About the local organisation
In 1945 the recreation centre Heideruh was built by antifascists to support the survivors of the Nazi regime. Relatives, survivors, and friends built a place of refuge amidst woodland where they could regain strength to continue their fight for a better world. Until today, Heideruh is a recreation area for anti-fascists. Very often like-minded people from different generations meet up there. Since 2013 nine asylum seekers from North Sudan and Arabic countries are accommodated and supported in Heideruh. Now the focus ist to prepare for a time without contemporary witnesses. The camp includes a big study part. In approx. 50 % of the time will deal with the topics antifascism and rememberance.
