German Scientists Visited the Lontskoho Prison in Lviv

A group of employees from the Foundation for the Study of the Dictatorship of the Socialist Unity Party of Germany (Berlin) examined the premises of the prison, where a Memorial to the Victims of Totalitarian Regimes is currently being created. The German scientists were told about the history of the prison and the large-scale work on declassifying archival materials, which is ongoing as part of SBU humanitarian projects.

Note: The Foundation for the Study of the Dictatorship of the Socialist Unity Party of Germany studies evidence of repression against the populations of states that were occupied during the Second World War, as well as documentary materials about the consequences of the Soviet totalitarian regime. The Foundation also maintains an archive of materials on repression and is creating a specialised scientific library, which will subsequently be used as a source for historians and the public.
