On 20 November 1941, the Gestapo deported just under 1,000 Jewish women and men from Munich to Kaunas in Lithuania, which had been occupied by the Wehrmacht. Only a few days after their arrival, on 25 November, the women, men and children were shot there by SS Einsatzgruppen and local auxiliary units.
On the occasion of the 85th anniversary of this first transport from Munich, we join contemporary witnesses Charlotte Knobloch and Ernst Grube in looking back at these events and asking what this day meant for the Jewish community in Munich and what relevance it holds for our society today. Alongside images of the deportation, individual biographies of children and young people who were abducted from their home city on 20 November 1941 will also be presented.
With a welcome address by Lord Mayor Dominik Krause and an introduction by Alina Bothe (LastSeen) and Andrea Löw (Institut für Zeitgeschichte).
