Halle: New Diary of Feelings promotes inclusion and a culture of remembrance!

In Halle (Saale), the “Diary of Feelings” project has been bringing a breath of fresh air to the culture of remembrance for 14 years now. Today, October 28, 2025, the eighth edition entitled "Positive Auslese. The Story of Lebensborn" will be presented. The aim of the project is to make history tangible and understandable, especially for people with disabilities. At the current presentation, an edition in easy language will be presented for the first time, which was created in collaboration with the State Education Center for the Blind and Visually Impaired and the Office for Easy Language “We understand each other”. dubisthalle.de reported.

Andreas Dose, the project leader, emphasizes the central importance of feelings in memory. Young people from different school types and educational backgrounds are invited to document historical facts as well as their own thoughts and emotions. This participation is intended to help young people better understand the past and prevent indifference. They get an idea of ​​history through research and visits to memorial sites such as the Red Ox Memorial and the Jewish community.

Inclusive and committed remembrance work

The “Diary of Feelings” is more than just a project; it is a way to promote inclusion and participation in the culture of remembrance. The young people work voluntarily and send a strong signal against racism, anti-Semitism and exclusion. There are also readings in school classes to pass on the experiences gained and to emphasize the importance of historical education.

The contents of the diary are supported by modern documentation methods such as YouTube videos, Instagram posts and vlogs. In this way, the work is not only recorded, but also made accessible to a wider audience. Each issue highlights and deals with specific aspects of Nazi history or social responsibility.

The commitment to humanity

The initiative actively promotes a culture of remembrance that strengthens humanity in everyday life. Especially at a time when awareness of history and its effects is often pushed into the background, the project provides important impulses and invites everyone to get involved. Thanks to the new edition in easy language, the audience will be even broader and the messages will be more understandable for many people.

Overall, it can be said that the “Diary of Feelings” is an example of lively, committed remembrance work. It shows how important it is not only to tell history, but also to make it tangible. In this way, dealing with the past becomes part of the present. These projects are a clear call to both recognize the mistakes of history and to actively stand up against current forms of discrimination and exclusion.
