KZ überlebt

In the organizer's words:

As contemporary witnesses of Nazi crimes, the survivors of the concentration and extermination camps with their different biographies are the focus of the exhibition "KZ überlebt" by Regensburg photographer Stefan Hanke. In cooperation with the Landesmuseum Hannover, Villa Seligmann presents 18 impressive black and white portraits and invites viewers to a lasting encounter with extraordinary people. Over 50 further portraits will be on display at the Landesmuseum.

The part of the exhibition on display at Villa Seligmann focuses on Jewish survivors, many of whom were active in the arts and culture.

Without any preconceived victim stereotypes, Hanke portrays people from all groups of persecutees from a total of seven countries. The expressive photographs show the protagonists in their respective living environments or at the sites of their persecution and imprisonment. Surprising statements in the form of quotes and unexpected historical references give the personal paths of life and suffering their own face. They provide special access to the history(ies) surrounding one of the greatest catastrophes of humanity.

The exhibition will be open to the public at Villa Seligmann on Mondays and Wednesdays between 10 am and 6 pm. Please refer to our website for short-term changes, e.g. on public holidays.
