Documentary and Cultural Centre of German Sinti and Roma
Documentary and Cultural Centre of German Sinti and Roma is a place of encounter and dialogue in the middle of the historic quarter of Heidelberg. The rich culture of the Sinti and Roma is alive here. Literature, painting, music - the cultural contributions of the minority are as diverse as the people themselves and are presented in a series of events organised by the Centre with lectures, exhibitions, film screenings, concerts and excursions, and also in successful co-operative efforts e.g. in conjunction with the Kulturhaus Karlstorbahnhof cultural centre.
In addition to this, the Centre is a place of remembrance of the victims of the National Socialists. In particular, the Holocaust of the Sinti and Roma is assessed in the only permanent exhibition of its kind in the world, which makes the Centre an important museum of contemporary history and a place of historical memory.
