Holiday tour through "Beloved Gabi. A girl from the Allgäu – murdered in Auschwitz"

Description

The new rotating exhibition “Beloved Gabi. A girl from the 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 raises Gabi on a farm. Gabi experiences joyful years on the isolated farm, where the farmers are loving foster parents. 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 the Allgäu against the background of the inhumane Nazi laws. Many photographs or toys from Gabi's possessions bring us closer to the girl. Interviews with witnesses complement the exhibition.
During this holiday tour, museum director Friederike Lutz presents the new exhibition and also sheds light on the background of the all-pervasive Nazi propaganda. The tour is suitable for people aged 14 and over. The tour fee is 3 euros (plus museum entrance). We kindly ask for prior registration via Reservix.
