Looking back. Looking ahead. 2020-2025

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS   223 The limited scope of this booklet only allows us to present a selection of the speeches. Our aim was to reflect as much di- versity as possible from each year within this period and from the different commemorative occasions. The speeches presented here do not necessarily represent the views of the Bavarian Memorial Foundation. Responsibility for their content lies entirely with the respective speakers. Where titles or functions are indicated, these refer to those held by the individual at the time the speech was delivered. If you have any questions, please contact: info@stbg.bayern.de. Last but not least, we would like to thank all of our colleagues at the Dachau Memorial and the Flossenbürg Memorial, who helped us create this booklet in a number of ways. Their daily work at the memorial sites is invaluable to remembrance. We would like to thank… … the Bavarian State Parliament for jointly organising the   annual commemoration of the victims of National Socialism. … the Bavarian State Government for hosting the state recep- tion celebrating the 20th anniversary of the Foundation in 2023, as well as the state reception held on the eve of the commemoration of the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Flossenbürg in April 2025. … the Bavarian State Ministry of Education and Culture and the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media for continually supporting our work. … all volunteers, supporters and cooperation partners whose commitment made it possible to organise and sustain the major events held between 2020 and 2025. … all those who spoke at the various events during this period – above all the elderly survivors and contemporary witnesses of National Socialist terror.
