Bruchstücke. Der 6. Dezember 1944 in Gießen

In the organizer's words:

December 6, 1944 left a deep mark on Giessen's history. The bombing raids around St. Nicholas Day at the end of this devastating war started by Germany claimed many lives and destroyed most of the buildings.

The Museum für Gießen is dedicating a cabinet exhibition to the event and its consequences. The exhibition focuses on the course of events and the victims of the night of the bombing, as well as the catastrophic effects of war - both for the museum in particular and for the historical record in general. One focus is on the loss of cultural heritage; then as now a sad consequence of war.
