About this audio guide
This guide to the Memorial Münchner Platz in Dresden starts at a slab of Theuma slate in the old execution courtyard, with the communist resistance leader Georg Schumann and the Nazi-era court that sat here. It then follows a request made by survivors in nineteen forty-nine, the reason they were given for a refusal, and what the building was still being used for under Soviet and East German rule. Stand by the slate marker in the courtyard to listen.
