Hunzinger, an East German sculptor, created a memorial to those women who took part in the Rosenstraße Protest. The memorial, named "Block der Frauen" (Block of Women), was erected in 1995 in a park not far from the site of the protest. The sculpture shows protesting and mourning women, and an inscription on the back reads: "The strength of civil disobedience, the vigour of love overcomes the violence of dictatorship; Give us our men back; Women were standing here, defeating death; Jewish men were free". The Israeli historian Omer Bartov observed that the memorial does not actually explain what the Rosenstrasse protests were or achieved, as if many Germans would prefer to forget about the protests, presumably because the protesters achieved their demands. The events of the Rosenstraße protests were made into a film in 2003 by Margarethe von Trotta under the title Rosenstraße. The 75th anniversary of the protest occurred in 2018. The German consulate in New York, United States commemorated the anniversary on February 24, 2018. German politician Petra Pau, a member of Germany's Die Linke party, gave a speech in the Bundestag marking the anniversary. In an article titled "Rosenstrasse at 75" in the Jerusalem Post, the events of the protest are highlighted and compared to the grievances expressed during the 2017–2018 Iranian protests.
