Themed tour to commemorate November 9, 1938
An elegant ladies' hat - it comes from the "Heinrich Rothschild hat and cleaning store", which was destroyed in the pogrom night of November 9/10, 1938 and subsequently forcibly dissolved. A marionette from the "Münchner Marionettentheater Jüdischer Künstler" - it was made in 1936 by the artist Maria Luiko and was allowed to play "Chanele" in a drama by Perez Hirschbein. An inconspicuous porcelain plate with flowers - it was part of a service by kindergarten teacher and social worker Alice Bendix.
