Almost every day, the Meetingpoint receives messages from families of former prisoners of war from Stalag VIII A who are looking for information about their relatives' time in captivity or are providing information themselves. The exchange, especially with the descendants of French and Belgian prisoners, bears impressive witness to the aftereffects of Stalag VIII A Görlitz and its enduring significance as a place of remembrance in the memories of many families. In a workshop discussion, Dr. Johannes Bent provides insight into the Meetingpoint's current activities regarding the ongoing assessment of Stalag VIII A as a site of violence and remembrance. The event also offers space for an open exchange on perspectives for research and remembrance.
