On Thursday, May 8th, 2025, from 1:00 PM to 7:00 PM, the NS Documentation Center in Munich will host an exhibition titled Erinnerung ist .... This intervention will explore the stories and memories attached to various objects, such as a hat, a marionette, a tube for pills, and a beer mug. What memories do these items hold? What stories can they tell? What do we wish to learn from them? Over the course of a year, selected objects will complement the exhibition München und der Nationalsozialismus at the NS Documentation Center, offering new narratives. Everyday and unusual items create sensory access to history and allow for a different perspective on the past. Concrete objects and individual viewpoints make overarching themes tangible.

In celebration of the tenth anniversary of the NS Documentation Center, Erinnerung ist ... invites visitors to reflect together on how difficult and painful experiences can be represented, communicated, received, and interpreted.

Curators: Karolina Kühn and Ulla-Britta Vollhardt.

Guided Tours: On May 13th and June 3rd at 5:30 PM. The exhibition opens at 1:00 PM with curator-led tours at 3:00 PM (Karolina Kühn) and 5:00 PM (Ulla-Britta Vollhardt) on May 8th (running until May 10th, 2026).
