Another milestone on the way to the nationwide migration museum: the tendering process for architecture, building construction and exhibition design has started. The coming months wil decide what the museum will look like.
At the end of last year, the freelance author Manuel Gogos published his new book "Das Gedächtnis der Migrationsgesellschaft" (The Memory of the Migration Society), in which he describes the history of our association. With reference to our archives, Gogos skilfully traces some milestones and also gives voice to different people who have accompanied DOMiD in the last 30 years since its foundation.
The book is available for download as a free e-book, as well as for purchase as a hardcover.

DOMiD collects and conserves material which documents migration history. Furthermore, we believe it is our duty to research and present the history of migration in Germany to a wide audience. In addition to our museological and archival work, we organize events, conferences and talks. Our goal is to convey that migration is a norm in human history. We believe this perspective can provide a basis for developing a shared, transcultural identity.
If you are in possesion of material that you think may be relevant to migration history, we would love to hear from you! Become a donor.
The migrant knowledge has not been taken into account for decades, although it has always been and remains an expertise on racism. Now this knowledge has a museum.İbrahim Arslan, activist and survivor of the racist arson attack of Mölln 1992
Migration has left a lasting mark on our society. In the motif series "Migration History in Pictures" we have selected objects from the DOMiD collection that stand for certain phenomena of migration history since 1945. In short, richly illustrated online stories, we tell how migrants have influenced the history of Germany.
