Using selected biographies of people from the town or the region, this memorial commemorates those who were persecuted for their political convictions, their faith, their race, for resistance to the regime or because they were simply under suspicion, and as a result were sent to camps, became entangled with the political criminal justice system, lost their lives under inhuman conditions or were murdered.
One part of the building containing five cells was left in its original authentic state. These cells depict the fates of well-known Frankfurt citizens between 1933 and 1989. A solitary confinement cell from around 1960 and a detention cell from 1989 tell you about the conditions under which prisoners where detained.
