Banner exhibition

With our banner exhibition ‘BECOME A ZWEITZEUG*IN’, we invite young people aged 12 and over to explore stories of survival and life in greater depth, to form their own views, and to work together across generations as secondary witnesses to stand up against antisemitism and for democratic coexistence.

Our banner exhibition in detail

With our compact and portable roll-up banner exhibition, we tell the four stories of survival and resilience of Chava Wolf, Henny Brenner, Dr. Leon Weintraub and Wolfgang Lauinger

These are complemented by in-depth sections on the persistence of antisemitism, identity and trauma, as well as a banner explaining the concept of the Holocaust and its victim groups.

The banner exhibition is ideal for smaller spaces, shorter durations and a lower budget. The costs include postage for delivery to and return from your institution.
