Ausstellungseröffnung | Abgestempelt – Judenfeindliche Postkarten

In the organizer's words:

Over the years, Berlin collector Wolfgang Haney has amassed almost 1,000 anti-Semitic postcards, a selection of which is documented in the traveling exhibition "abgestempelt". Most of them date from before the First World War. They are to be understood as historical sources which, as everyday objects, provide a direct insight into the world of everyday life, characterized by prejudice and discrimination

For each theme, the "Stamped Out" exhibition shows three text panels and three rotating elements with postcards. Four text panels provide a brief introduction to the exhibition, while four more draw a conclusion at the end. The exhibition was developed in 1999 by the Jewish Museum Frankfurt a. M. and the Museum for Communication Frankfurt a. M. as a temporary exhibition and, in a revised and significantly condensed version by Prof. Dr. Thomas Goll, TU Dortmund, is being lent as a touring exhibition by the Federal Agency for Civic Education.
