Welcome
The website "Spurensuche Nationalsozialismus" is a project by the Frankfurt on the Main section of the German Alpine Club (Deutscher Alpenverein, DAV). It aims to commemorate former Jewish members who were persecuted or murdered during the National Socialist era. The project seeks to bring these approximately 120 individuals back into the collective memory of the section and the public, nearly 80 years after the end of World War II. Additionally, it explores the structures and interests that enabled such persecution and examines the involvement of the section"s officials in these injustices.
Join us!
The section's project group "Spurensuche" (Tracing National Socialism) has been researching the Nazi era since 2019 and will continue this work in the future. This website is a living memorial project that continuously grows. The more people join, the more traces we will uncover. That's why we are always happy to welcome more dedicated participants. If you would like to join us, have any suggestions, or questions about the project or specific research topics:
