#niemalswieder

Fascinating new exhibition @hdgoe, featuring objects damaged during the November Pogrom (“Kristallnacht”) that were recently rediscovered in a cellar of an Orthodox Jewish school in Vienna’s 2nd district #Leopoldstadt, on #Malzgasse. The building housed a school, a synagogue and the world’s oldest Jewish Museum prior to the catastrophic events of 1938. After the Pogrom and during the war, the building became a Jewish old people’s home and a place where Jews who had been evicted from their homes lived in cramped conditions prior to their deportations to ghettos and extermination camps. It is now a school once more. The exhibited objects include the everyday objects such as equipment from science lessons, leather shoes, crockery, but also artefacts from the museum, including art and ritual objects and gravestone fragments.

NICHT MEHR VERSCHÜTTET (Buried No Longer), temporary exhibition, on until 19th April 2020 at Haus der Geschichte Österreich.
