The plans for a documentation center about the terror of the right-wing extremist NSU and its victims are taking shape: According to a feasibility study presented on Friday, it could be opened in Chemnitz and Zwickau in 2028. This is where the members of the “National Socialist Underground” (NSU) once went into hiding. A memorial, remembrance and learning site for the NSU complex is planned, said Robert Kusche from the RAA Sachsen association, which developed the study with other actors on behalf of the state.
“It is important to continuously involve and involve the bereaved and survivors of the NSU terror,” said Kusche. Their stories need space and a hearing. The CDU, Greens and SPD agreed in the coalition agreement to support a documentation center for the victims of the NSU. The study recommends setting up a foundation. It should be financed by Saxony and the federal government and possibly other federal states. The investment costs are estimated at up to 36.4 million euros. In addition, 42 positions with personnel costs of around 2.75 million euros per year are required.
The NSU murdered at least ten people in Germany between 2000 and 2007. There were eight small entrepreneurs of Turkish origin and one of Greek origin and one policewoman.
