Lunch tour through the special exhibition "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 farmstead, 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 close to the girl. Eyewitness interviews complement the exhibition. Susanne Appl, a scientific staff member of the school museum, guides through 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), and it is recommended to register via Reservix.
