Guided tours of the exhibition From the Shadows to the Light
Follow in the footsteps of books that survived one of the darkest chapters in European history. A guided tour of the exhibition From the Shadows to the Light will reveal the fates of books and book collections looted by the Nazis from European Jewish communities, and demonstrate the methods used to identify them today.
You will discover which institutions were involved in the confiscations, what the Nazis had planned for books they stole, and how some of these volumes were successfully identified decades later. Through specific stories, you will also learn about the history of the selected Jewish communities from whose property the books originated from, and the printers and publishers whose works are represented in the identified collection.
The tour is free, but spaces are limited. Please reserve your place using this forms: 20 August, 3:30 pm or 17 September, 4:30 pm
