Förderverein der sächsischen Landesarbeitsgemeinschaft Auseinandersetzung mit dem Nationalsozialismus eV

The Saxon State Working Group on Confrontation with National Socialism (sLAG) is a historical-political network composed of associations, organizations, initiatives, historical workshops, projects, and individuals. Founded on September 18, 2018, sLAG works with different approaches and thematic focuses on local, regional, and national NS history.

• Educational and Memorial Site Tours: sLAG organizes city tours, hiking seminars, educational and memorial site tours, as well as youth encounters.
• Research and Communication: Members of sLAG are involved in biography research, the placement of stumbling stones, and the development of innovative formats such as audio walks, blogs, and interactive maps.
• Workshops and Lectures: Regular workshops, lectures, exhibitions, and publications are part of the offerings.
• Guide Training and Material Collections: sLAG offers guide training and collects materials on historical events and individual fates.
• Consultation and Networking: The organization provides advice on professional questions, work organization, documentation, and the acquisition of funding, and promotes professional exchange and further education[2][5].

sLAG operates politically neutral and independent of parties. Its main mission is to remember the NS crimes and to oppose populist, anti-Semitic, and racist positions. Respect for all those persecuted and murdered by the NS regime, as well as the appreciation of diversity and complexity in remembrance and communication work, are central values of the organization. The commitment of sLAG contributes to strengthening the democratic culture in Saxony[2][4].

• Democracy Education: sLAG operates a specialist office for NS remembrance work and democracy education, which organizes regional conferences and statewide specialist days.
• Inclusive Offers: The organization develops innovative formats for people who have had few offers so far, such as migrants, people with special needs, and those who do not feel addressed by conventional formats.
• Networking and Cooperation: sLAG is a member of the Association of Memorials in Germany e.V. (VDGF), the Tolerant Saxony Network, and the support network for survivors of NS persecution in Ukraine. These cooperations strengthen professional exchange and further education[2][5].

sLAG continuously works to promote public awareness of the research and communication work done and advocates for an intensive engagement with the ideology and rule of the NS system. Through its low-threshold offers and open structure, sLAG is an important actor in political-historical education work in Saxony.
