A City Joins In

The exhibition takes visitors to around 20 typical urban locations, such as the city hall, streets, universities, stores and courts. The stories presented there show how National Socialism shaped the city of Frankfurt and the everyday lives of its inhabitants – their scope ranges from perpetrators to victims of state and municipal violence. Options for action are discussed, as are the consequences of political inaction, turning a blind eye, profiteering, or blind obedience. The exhibition deals with participation, but never loses sight of resistance or the consequences for the individual lives of those persecuted.
