Public guided tour with the curator Dr. Anika Reichwald (in German) 

In the one-hour guided tour, the curator of the exhibition "End of Testimony?" gives insights into the concept and development process. The focus here is not only on the content and technical processing of the museum's own collection of interviews with contemporary witnesses, but also on the different forms of expression of narrated memory that can be found in these interviews. The tour also looks at the cultural and historical change in the role of survivors and the functions of their stories and asks about the narratives in the context of which the interviews are used today at the Jewish Museum Hohenems.
