Nie Wieder opens in Bonn Preserving Nazi-era memory

Oct 10

Tagesschau reports the opening of Nie Wieder! Gegen das Vergessen der NS-Verbrechen at Bonn's Bundeskunsthalle. Marion Kerstholt shows historical objects, art and new methods of remembrance, including an interactive digital representation of Auschwitz survivor and exhibition patron Eva Umlauf. Umlauf says personal encounters with prepared pupils are best, but witnesses will soon be gone. The five-chapter exhibition also includes Natalia Romik's silver-plated representations of Jewish hiding places. Curator Henriette Pleiger says the exhibition bridges historical scholarship and art to sustain remembrance of Nazi crimes. The report says it runs until May of the following year.
