visitors a year, many of them not
Jewish.
Opened in November1988, on
the 50th anniversary of Kristall-
nacht, the Jewish Museum is
housed in the former Rothschild
Palace, a stately, neo-classical
building which faces the Main
River. The elegant palace was
later transformed into a modern
and comprehensive museum
which can hold its own with the
major Jewish museums in Eu-
rope and elsewhere.
The museum also is a center
of G-erman-Jewish culture, with
varied events and programs
throughout the year: concerts,
lectures, special exhibits, annu-
al parties on Purim and Sukkot
and more. There's also a cheer-
ful and well-stocked Book-Cafe
with the latest books on Jewish
themes, plus German and Israeli
newspapers for visitors to read
while sipping coffee.
As for the exhibits, they cover
everything from ritual objects to
dramatic displays of Jewish life
in Frankfurt just before the Holo-
caust.
"Our museum focuses on the
history of the Jews in Germany
and especially in Frankfurt," said
Dr. Johannes Wachten, deputy
director of the museum.
One of the displays is the re-
markable scale model of the
Frankfurt ghetto. It recreates
exactly the ghetto as it existed
in the early 18th century, show-
ing the cramped houses, the syn-
agogue and mikvah and more.
The model was meticulously
made by a craftsman who
worked from the actual archi-
tectural plans which had been
preserved and which still remain
in the city archives.
"It was a very difficult task
which took six years to com-
plete," said Dr. Wachten.
Dominating the room where
it's on display, the wooden mod-
el is the model is split apart from
its middle on Tuesdays — it was
built so it could be separated —
so that visitors can walk through
the middle and get an even clos-
er look.
Last year the museum hosted
over 500 group tours of all sorts,
said Dr. Wachten.
Although not Jewish himself,
Dr. Wachten is an expert on
Jewish history and culture. At
the University of Cologne and
later at Hebrew University, he
specialized in Jewish studies,
and wrote his doctoral thesis on
rabbinical literary structures.
He knows all the details about
the museum's exhibits, which
are extensive and are divided
into three major sections. The
first covers Frankfurt's Jewish
history from 1100, with the mod-
el of the ghetto included in this
section.
The next section is devoted to
Jewish life and worship in
Frankfurt, with displays of ritu-
al objects and more. And the
third section describes the his-
tory of Frankfurt's Jewish com-
munity from 1800 to 1950, with
valuable artifacts found nowhere
else.
Particularly dramatic is the
portrayal of the gradual evolu-
tion of anti-Semitism, which is
shown through varied visual dis-
plays.
For instance, on display is
what at first looks like an inno-
cent picture postcard showing
the Kolner Hof hotel. But along
with the appealing photo of the
hotel is a posted sign in German
which, translated, reads: "Jew-
ish Visitors Not Welcome." And
this dates back to 1906.
Dating back even further is
the photo of Professor Heinrich
von Treitshkethe, German pro-
fessor, to whom is attributed the
origin of a slogan later used by
the Nazis: Die Juden sund unser
ungluck (the Jews are our bad
luck).
The most poignant exhibit is
the one titled "Jews of Frankfurt
1933-1942." Photos and artifacts
plus explanatory panels detail
how Jewish life disintegrated un-
der the Nazis. Jewish property
was confiscated; synagogues
were burned, and civil rights
were taken away one by one.
On display is one single suit-
case of a Jewish woman in
Frankfurt who was deported and
who perished at Auschwitz. The
exhibit also shows the Jews of
Frankfurt trying to adapt and
survive in spite of everything; for
instance, there are photos of
children in a learning commu-
nity formed after they were for-
bidden to attend public schools.
The Memorial Wall is elo-
quent testimony to the tragedy
of Frankfurt's Jews. One entire
wall has 11,000 neatly printed
names: the names of11,000 Jew-
ish natives of Frankfurt who per-
ished in the Holocaust.
One of those 11,000 names is
that of Anne Lies Frank, who
was born in 1929 in Frankfurt.
"Many people don't realize that
she lived here first," said Dr.
Wachten, pointing out her name.
From medieval times to mod-
ern, the Jewish Museum covers
the whole sweep of Jewish his-
tory in Frankfurt, which it has
been continuous for more than
600 years. ❑
