Erinnern. die Kinder vom Bullenhuser Damm

Erinnern. die Kinder vom Bullenhuser Damm offers insights into the topic of the Nazi past. The events surrounding the Neuengamme concentration camp and the abandoned school on Bullenhuser Damm in Hamburg, where 20 deported children were murdered in 1945, are conveyed and remembered in a multifaceted, personal and accessible way.
The different playable characters are teenagers from 1979 who approach the subject with youthful curiosity. Through them, you come into contact with various people and contemporary witnesses. These people have experienced different things and offer different insights and strategies for dealing with the past – from repression to reappraisal, from forgetting to remembering.
Thanks to the calm gameplay, the content can be explored at your own pace. Your own horizons are broadened with each playable character. The soundtrack underscores the characters’ emotions and at the same time offers even easier accessibility.
In this unagitated way, players are drawn into the beautifully designed game with its heavy content. They can assemble a larger whole from the building blocks of each story, which becomes more detailed with each character.
The game facilitates contact with these difficult topics, as they are presented in bite-sized chunks and in an accessible way. Instead of overwhelming or deterring players, they can be grasped, understood and classified piece by piece.
