Kriegshaber Synagogue, 30.1. - 17.6. 2018

A Memory is a Memory is a Memory?
Judaica from Kriegshaber Synagogue and the Surrounding Area


Objects are in many ways bearers of memories and, as silent witnesses of different times in the past, they reference breaks in history’s continuity when their multiple facets are revealed. The twenty-three objects from Kriegshaber Synagogue, one of the two synagogue buildings in Augsburg that still exist, and the surrounding area, are also imbued with a variety of different memories.
Scattered around the world during the Nazi era, exquisite Torah silverware, valuable synagogal textiles, rare manuscripts, and other Judaica have temporarily been brought back to their heimat for this cultural-historical exhibition that is to run for four months. Here, they are reminders of the religious, cultural, and economic importance of this former congregation on the outskirts of the city that extended well beyond the boundaries of the rural Jewish community.
However, they also reference the individual memories of their former owners or of their erstwhile users and ask questions about how best to honor these memories today.
