A central focus is the 'children's special branch' Lüneburg, where over 300 children from North Germany were murdered from 1941 to the end of the war. This circumstance gives this education and memorial site a supra-regional importance. As supporting associations act the Psychosoziale Verein Lüneburg e.V. and the Geschichtswerkstatt Lüneburg e.V.
