Life Stories of Holocaust Survivors and Their Descendants

Every encounter with a Holocaust survivor is unique, and each interview has stayed with us in its own way. We have had the privilege of speaking with 35 Holocaust survivors. In addition, we interviewed Monica Heller and Andreas Hirsch, descendants of Holocaust survivors and people murdered during the Holocaust. They share how their families' histories continue to shape their lives and are passed on from one generation to the next.

Getting to know, remembering, passing on

We document the stories, publish them in our catalogue and in individual magazines, we pass on the stories as "Zweitzeug*innen" in exhibitions, events and our workshops – to save them from being forgotten and to sensitise people to anti-Semitism.
