Moral Courage Then - Moral Courage Today:
Follower, Bystander, Feigning Ignorant...?
Themed guided tours and study days on Moral Courage Then - Moral Courage Today show examples of such people, trace their motives and fields of activity and raise questions, what courage means to us - and how we can realise it today.
Content
Like on a guided tour of the highlights you receive information and reports on the system of concentration camps, the history of Dachau Concentration Camp and the fate of its prisoners. You will access authentic locations in the former camp as well as selected exhibits in the museum. The documentary Dachau Concentration Camp depicts the suffering, death, and liberation of the prisoners.
Themed guided tours and study days Moral Courage Then - Moral Courage Today thus include a guided tour of the highlights, but surpass it in terms of content, method and time.
Scope of Action - Do we really have to?
The persecution and murder of millions was not a natural disaster coming "from outside" over Germany or resulting only from an order "from above". At a number of stops on the tour of the memorial site, you will experience: people often had and have a scope of action; they can make a decision.
How can moral courage be promoted? How can it be stifled?
Facing such scope of action, questions will already impose themselves during the guided tour.
Extension
After the guided tour participants may wish to pose this and other questions within a study group in a study room on the memorial site, making use of film, discussion and reflection to consolidate understanding.
