30 years DOMiD
On our special page "30 Years DOMiD" we present a small insight into our club history. Everyone who has worked with us in the past 30 years is also invited to submit their DOMiD story to us. Our special page is rounded off with a look at migration history in Germany with the motif series "Migration history in pictures".
What is your DOMiD story?
Everyone who has worked with us over the past 30 years is welcome to submit their DOMiD story to us. What moved you?
Our collection

DOMiD collects and conserves materials which document 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 normal part of the human history. We believe this perspective can provide a basis for developing a shared, transcultural identity.
Found some treasures in your attic or basement?
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
