From the Mission to Conceptualize a Museum. The Jewish History of Königsberg in Kaliningrad. Lecture by Ruth and Michael Leiserowitz
The first temporary exhibition since the opening of the Jewish Museum in the Kaliningrad Synagogue has arrived on site and was handed over.
A new temporary exhibition deals with the escape and emigration of Jews from East Prussia. The exhibition, which will open in May 2023 at the Jewish Museum in Kaliningrad, will travel to other cities after the summer season.
Many of these books have been published by very small publishing houses, and other escape accounts have been published only in private settings. We are grateful for further tips.
