The exhibition of the museum in Svitavy – Seeking David’s Star
Premiere type: Monuments and history. We recommend for: Holidays for young people, Relaxing holiday.
Announced: June 2008
On 28 April 2008, one hundred years had passed since the birth of Oskar Schindler, who saved almost 1,200 Jewish lives during World Was II. To mark this occasion, a new permanent exhibition has been opened in the City Museum and Gallery in Svitavy that maps the life of this world-known native of Svitavy. It is called “Seeking David’s Star – Oskar Schindler – Fair-Minded Among the Nations”.
The exhibition is accompanied by the projection of documentary films on Oskar Schindler and statements from his Jewish survivors, in Czech, German and English. Access is also made available to the web pages of archives, museums and institutions that deal with the holocaust.
In addition to the three-dimensional objects that have been lent to the museum by the Jewish Museum in Prague and the Gross Rosen Concentration Camp, visitors can also use copies of guides available in a variety of languages.
The entire project also focuses on schools of all types – pupils and students can work independently with work sheets in the form of tests, research questions, crossword puzzles and quizzes.
