Themenführung „Erinnern als Widerstand"

The themed tour raises the question of the extent to which remembrance can act as a form of resistance. Selected objects make it clear that armed resistance is not the only effective form of resistance. The tour uses objects to tell this story. Exhibits such as the interview with the Jewish Holocaust survivor Hela Goldstein in the liberated Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, the woodcuts by the artist Walter Preisser, the reports on the activities of the director of the Warsaw National Museum Stanisław Lorentz during the Nazi occupation and the archival work of the historian Emanuel Ringelblum in the Warsaw ghetto show that resistance has many faces. Those who experienced violence at the hands of the occupiers also fought back by determining what was made visible and still is today.
