RESIST 1933–1945. For human rights in Europe
Educational material on the resistance against National Socialism, using examples from France and Germany from 1933 to 1945
During the dictatorship and the Second World War, National Socialist Germany committed extremely severe human rights violations. Numerous countries were occupied by National Socialists, while others collaborated with the German Reich.
Yet across all of Europe between 1933 and 1945, there were people who opposed the National Socialists’ crimes and resisted. Their actions were driven by an orientation to human rights and the wish to restore the rule of law and liberate their countries from National Socialism.
The resistance against National Socialism is increasingly being viewed from a transnational perspective. The project “RESIST 1933–1945. For human rights in Europe” provides educational material on this topic. The material is available in simple German, French, and English.
