Jüdisches in Bamberg
In the organizer's words:
With a modern approach, the exhibition "Jews in Bamberg" shows the traces left behind by Jews living in Franconia since the Middle Ages. Using historical sources, eyewitness accounts and numerous art and everyday objects, the exhibition tells of the eventful history, the end and new beginning of Jewish life in Bamberg.
The conflict-ridden coexistence with the Christian majority over the centuries, expulsion and pogroms as well as the profound impact of National Socialism meant that the material and spiritual culture of Bamberg's Jews has only survived in fragments. The exhibition attempts to make the surviving traces visible and to show their links in history.
Scientific findings from archaeology and historical research have been vividly prepared for the presentation and made accessible to a wide audience. Exhibits from all areas of life provide an insight into the social and personal life of the Jewish minority.
Part of the exhibition is the fate of the Jewish girl Erika Löbl, whose rediscovered diary was published in 2016 under the title From Bamberg to Quito. The Diary of Erika Löbl, was published as a transcription by the Bamberg City Archive and the Museums of the City of Bamberg. In it, she reports directly on events that were important to her, born in Bamberg in 1924, at the end of the 1930s.
Erika Löbl's diary is a further document of her exclusion from society, but also of the drastic loss of her familiar surroundings. Her personal accounts bring history to life at first hand and offer a starting point for a multifaceted examination of National Socialism, anti-Semitism, racism, religion and the topic of flight and asylum from different perspectives.
