Die Dritte Generation. Der Holocaust im familiären Gedächtnis

Curator's tour with Ulrike Heikaus as part of the reading "The Daughters' Search"

80 years after the Holocaust, the exhibition "The Third Generation. The Holocaust in Family Memory" deals with the issue of transgenerational trauma and the emotional legacy of the survivors. They have passed on their stories, but also their traumas, to their children and grandchildren. While the second generation grew up with the psychological and physical injuries of their parents, the third generation looks at family history from a greater temporal distance, in which memory and silence, family myths and secrets, overwhelming or missing family heritage are omnipresent.
Following the tour, visitors are cordially invited to a reading:
