Victims of National Socialism: presentation of memorial project in Bern
Federal Councillor Ignazio Cassis and Bern mayor Marieke Kruit presented the winning proposal, ‘unfolded minute’, for a memorial to victims of National Socialism on the Casino terrace, to be installed by the end of 2027. The design combines artistic elements, a sound wall, information panels, and a website to raise awareness of the Holocaust and Switzerland’s role during the Nazi era. The memorial will be part of a national network of remembrance sites and will be managed by an umbrella association to ensure ongoing outreach and educational activities.
