Everything Forgotten

Everything Forgotten deals with the phenomenon of forgetting and shows that forgetting does not only mean loss, but can also exert power or bring liberation. The exhibition highlights historical examples such as internal Jewish excommunication curses, the deliberate erasure of names and collective cultures of forgetting after 1945.
Visitors gain insights into how forgetting shapes people and society and what consequences it has for memory and identity. Everything Forgotten invites visitors to understand forgetting not only as the opposite of remembering, but as part of a complex examination of history and the present.
