The Amadeu Antonio Foundation has developed a research project on local history in East and West Germany.  The aim is to confront schools, museums and communities with a not so distant past: the Holocaust and National Socialism.

Three basic courses in Politics at the Blumenthal school in Bremen are interested in the topic of “bigotry and hatred”.  In order to illustrate these abstract terms for the general public, the Blumenthal pupils prepared an exhibition which was shown in a local community center.

The “Netzwerk für Demokratische Kultur” (Network for Democratic Culture) brings bigotry up for discussion – by offering a comic workshop in order to fight prejudice and hatred in primary schools.

A considerable number of German football fans regularly chant antisemitic slogans and songs in the stadiums.  Unfortunately, the fan clubs have so far failed to offensively counter this problem.  The initiative "Dem Ball ist egal wer ihn tritt" (The football doesn't care about who kicks it) takes fans from various football clubs on a visit to the former concentration camp of Auschwitz in order to trigger a lasting critical discussion about antisemitism and racism in football.
