Museum New Synagogue Kaliningrad

The history and culture of Jewish Künigsberg are the focus of the first permanent exhibition in the Museum in the Kaliningrad Synagogue. Using various media and multilingual, the exhibition shows where and how Jews came to Künigsberg and what role they played in the European context for the city. In the process, the Jewish perspective is presented when looking at history. The deportation of the Jews in 1942, the system of forced labor in East Prussia shortly before the end of the war and the massacre in Palmnicken are described in drawn stories and with a model. In the interactive video installation developed especially for the museum, eight former students talk about their time in the Jewish school, which existed in this very place during the Nazi era, with a retrospective view and underlined with animations. The museum is open to the public outside public holidays.
