Verurteilt und Vergessen

The website „Verurteilt und vergessen“ (Condemned and forgotten) illustrates the lives and fates of people who were sentenced by military tribunals in the Soviet occupation zone and early GDR between 1945 and 1955. Based on their last places of residence, the origin, arrest and sentencing contexts become comprehensible. The platform combines historically charged material, such as petitions for clemency and court documents, with new functions such as synthesised voice output and barrier-free design to make this history accessible to as many people as possible. We have used the following modules: AppApi, FieldtypeGeocoder, FieldtypeOembed, PageTableNext, ProcessGraphQL, ProcessTextSynthesis, ProCache, SearchEngine
