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. ❑ Publicity Deadlines The normal deadline for local news and publicity items is noon Thursday, eight days prior to issue date.
