Double Tour 'Youth' and 'Gabi'

Description

The new rotating exhibition “Beloved Gabi. A girl from Allgäu - murdered in Auschwitz” traces the short life of Gabriele Schwarz. In 1937, Gabi was born in Marktoberdorf, as the daughter of Lotte Schwarz. But: Lotte is a baptized Jew. To protect her daughter, she takes Gabi to a farm. Gabi experiences joyful years on the isolated farm, where the farmers are loving foster parents. Living with neighborhood children and the farm dog, Gabi lives in the supposed idyll – until she is discovered in 1943 and deported to Auschwitz. The exhibition by Regina Gropper and Leo Hiemer shows Gabi's well-documented life in Allgäu against the background of the inhumane Nazi laws. Many photographs or toys from Gabi's possessions bring us close to the girl. Interviews with witnesses complement the exhibition. The tour is suitable for people aged 14 and over. The tour fee is 3 euros (museum admission is waived). We kindly ask for prior registration via Reservix.
