The memory of the migration society

DOMiD – An Association Writes History(s)

Life in the Federal Republic of Germany is shaped by millions of migrants. For a long time, their history remained unwritten, but in 1990, the pioneers of the "Documentation Center and Museum on Migration in Germany e.V." (DOMiD), who originated from Turkey, began to collect objects of everyday culture from the country. (DOMiD) began to collect everyday cultural objects from the era of the so-called "guest workers" and present them in exhibitions.

Today, the collection comprises more than 150,000 contemporary testimonies from Germany's migration history since 1945 until today. Countless untold stories of multiple migrations are tied to it.

In this book, freelance author Manuel Gogos traces the history of our association DOMiD.
