Concentration camp survivor
Exhibition in cooperation with the Landesmuseum Hannover Portraits of concentration camp survivors, photography by Stefan Hanke
Description
As contemporary witnesses of Nazi crimes, the survivors of the concentration and extermination camps with their different biographies are the focus of the exhibition “KZ überlebt” by Regensburg photographer Stefan Hanke.
In cooperation with the Landesmuseum Hannover, Villa Seligmann presents 18 impressive black and white portraits and invites viewers to a lasting encounter with extraordinary people.
Over 50 further portraits will be shown at the Landesmuseum.
Without a preconceived victim template, Hanke portrays people from all groups of persecutees from a total of seven countries that can still be reached.
The expressive photographs show the protagonists in their respective living environments or at the sites of their persecution and imprisonment.
Surprising statements in the form of quotes and unexpected historical references give the personal paths of life and suffering their own face.
They provide special access to the story or stories surrounding one of humanity’s greatest catastrophes.
More information on admission and opening times for the “KZ überlebt” exhibition at Villa Seligmann will follow shortly.
