Ausstellung: Heimlich, laut und leise – Frauen im Widerstand gegen den Nationalsozialismus

In the organizer's words:

The Franco-German exhibition "Secretly, Loudly and Quietly - Women Resisting National Socialism" focuses on the long overlooked resistance of women against the Nazi regime. Based on known and unknown biographies from Germany and France, it shows how diverse resistance could be - quiet and hidden, public and courageous, individual and collective.

Resistance to National Socialism is increasingly becoming the focus of attention. However, the various roles of women remain underrepresented.
This exhibition shows how women stood up for others, for freedom and for an end to the National Socialist regime at the risk of their own lives from 1933 to 1945. A variety of examples illustrate why and how women resisted and how they and their actions are remembered today.
The national perspective is abandoned here in favor of a transnational approach. Known and unknown female resistance fighters are presented, who particularly impress us with their attitude and actions. Because history does not simply 'happen', it is 'made' by people.

Language: German and French
