Together with contemporary witness and activist İbrahim Arslan, DOMiD conceived, prepared and implemented the participatory workshop project "Against Racism - Unknown Perspectives".
The year 2021 marked the 60th anniversary of the agreement on the recruitment of migrant workers between the Federal Republic of Germany and Turkey. But which moments shape these 60 years? Against this background question, DOMiD has created a special page on the occasion of this anniversary: "60 Years of Almanya" - here, with the help of interviews and picture galleries, the perspectives of the migrants and their descendants are illuminated.

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.
Only those things that are displayed in museums, embodied in memorials, and found in school books have the chance to be passed on to future generations.Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. Aleida Assmann, Peace Prize Winner of the German Book Trade
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.
