They float high above the rooftops of the city. In a Ferris wheel gondola in the Vienna Prater. The three friends are beaming all over their faces. Click. It is 1936 and they are celebrating Leo's 9th birthday. His father, a photographer by trade, has invited them to the funfair. Each of the three children gets a print of the photo on the Ferris wheel.

It will be the last carefree moment in the friends' lives. Shortly afterwards, terror, persecution and extermination begin to dominate their lives with the annexation of Austria by Nazi Germany. Their friendship is abruptly torn apart. Two of them come from Jewish families.

Based on the idea that images influence opinions, the LUTZ team is developing a new participatory format between exhibition, reading and theater performance. Excerpts from Liz Kessler's award-winning young adult novel When the World Belonged to Us will be read. In between, the audience is invited to discover the stories of people from the present and past of our city and to reflect on which moments can move and empower us and how images influence our memories and opinions.
