Curator Eva Haupt presents a rescued saint figure. The figure of Saint John of Nepomuk originally stood on a covered column at Lindenplatz in Graslitz. It was a station during the annual St Mark's Procession on 25 April. As expellees from Graslitz reported, in 1946 Czechs threw the saint figure into the Zwodau River. After some time it was found on the riverbank. The damaged figure could be taken along in the expulsion luggage and was thus saved.

As part of the special exhibition „Human und menschlich…? Die regulierte Vertreibung der Sudetendeutschen“.
