Germany and Spain have in their history a turbulent past represented by National Socialism and Francoism with many concomitants. Germany has begun to leave its period of the "pact of silence" when already in the 90s began to speak about the "Historical Memory" that culminated in 2005 with the inauguration in Berlin of the Holocaust Memorial. Also in Spain, the Law of Historical Memory was approved in 2007. In this collaborative work we want to explore significant places of these periods, use their spaces to extract "sounds" from the past that remind us of their history. Several places from the Nazi era in Weimar are included as "sound objects" for the German group. The group from Barcelona, according to the MUHBA, has chosen Refugio 307, San Felipe Neri Square, El Molino and Parallel, The bombing of the Colosseum and the shelters of the Turó de la Rovira as "sound objects".
