Max-Samuel-Haus

In the location's words:

The central task of the foundation is to impart knowledge about Jewish history and culture in order to counteract anti-Semitism and intolerance in the long term. A particular focus is on work with children and young people. A publicly accessible library specializing in Jewish history is available to interested parties. To date, 14 publications on various topics have been published. The house also organizes readings, concerts, lectures and themed exhibitions. The website "juden-in-rostock.de" also provides a wide range of information.

In addition to developing its own exhibitions on local and regional aspects of Judaism, the house also occasionally shows exhibitions from other institutions. The so-called memorial stones, which are set into the sidewalk in Rostock in front of the former homes of Holocaust victims, are particularly influential. These are donated by private individuals and companies. Further information on the activities of the house can be found in the "Events" section.

The work of the Max Samuel House is overseen by three voluntary bodies: the Association of Friends and Sponsors of the Max Samuel House, the Foundation Board and a Board of Trustees.
