"And they were our neighbours..."

Exhibition on the deportation of Jewish men, women and children Riga 1941/1942

The moving special exhibition "And they were our neighbours..." will be on display at LernWerk Bocholt from 10 December 2024 to 27 January 2025. This exhibition sheds light on the deportation of Jewish men, women and children to Riga in 1941/1942 and recalls the cruel fate that many people suffered at that time.

A special component of the exhibition is the project "Two Days in Winter" by Dagmar Calais and Chris Steinbrecher, which provides an intensive approach to the historical events through artistic representations and personal accounts.

The exhibition is open on many weekends during the exhibition period from Friday to Sunday and invites visitors to come to terms with a harrowing chapter in history and to keep the memory of the victims alive.
