Geschichte bewegt.

The workshop offers school classes a creative approach to the history of National Socialism. At its centre is the life story of Ernst Grube, who as a Jewish child was excluded and persecuted during the Nazi regime. Starting from a tour of the permanent exhibition oriented around his biography, the students approach his story in creative and active ways. Through movement and playful methods of dance education, they experience their own body as a means of expression – with no prior dance experience required. By developing tableaux and short movement sequences, the students engage with themes such as exclusion, courage, remembrance and solidarity. At the same time, connections are made to their own lifeworld: Where do we experience exclusion today? What does belonging feel like? When is it important to take a stand? How can respectful interaction with one another succeed?
