80 years end of the war: hiking exhibition silent certificates opened

In a time of commemoration and reflection, July 10, 2025 is not only noted in the history books, but also celebrated as an important day in the region. On July 13th, the "Silent certificates" hiking exhibition will be ceremoniously opened in the old Hagenow synagogue. This exhibition is part of the memories of the 80th anniversary of the end of the Second World War and the liberation of the Wöbbelin concentration camp, as [nordkurier.de reports] (https://www.nordkurier.de/regional/hagenow/sonder exhibition-in-der-alten-ynagoge-3744925).

The exhibition will be shown by October 26, 2023 and focuses on quiet places of commemoration in the district of Ludwigslust-Parchim. Under the lead motif "80 years of war-80 years of liberation-reminiscent of 80 years remind, commemorate, worthy, warn" is particularly intended for the deportations and the terrible events during the Nazi era. A touching connection to the city of Hagenow creates opinions with her daughter Hanna on July 10, 1942 by deporting Käthe and Hermann. The old synagogue, once a center of Jewish culture, gains a central place in the exhibition through its bitter fate.

photographic witnesses of history

The photographs of Lisa Massow and Therese Kietzmann, who hold central sacrifices to the victims of National Socialism, are characterized by a reserved level of abstraction. In this way, the two photographers manage to respect the atmosphere of these places respectfully. These urgent pictures stimulate the story of the story and invite the viewers to think about the past.

The hiking exhibition, which was created in cooperation with the association Mahn and Memorials in the Ludwigslust-Parchim district, is shown in various locations during the year. Interested visitors can look forward to the opportunity to experience this consideration in many places.

additional exhibition in Ludwigslust

Another important point in memory work will be the photo exhibition "Silent Certificates" in the town hall of Ludwigslust. The vernissage at the opening of the exhibition took place on May 4, 2025. This exhibition, which can be seen in the atrium of the town hall until June 6, 2025, also addresses the events of the Holocaust in the district and commemorates the victim of this dark time, such as [Memorial Staetten-woebbelin.de reported] (https://www.gägstaetten-woebbelin.de/aktuelle-nachrichten/foto exhibition-stille-zimmen-im-rathaus-ludwigslust/).

The photographer Lisa Massow and Therese Kietzmann, both from Parchim, have been running a photo shop in their hometown since the end of 2021. Her work is primarily shaped by portrait photography and artistic projects. If you want to visit the exhibitions, you should also note the opening times of the visitor center of the Wöbbelin Mind and Memorials, which is currently closed due to conversion measures. A digital tour of the permanent exhibition "Ten weeks KZ Wöbbelin" offers an alternative way to deal with history.

In a time when it is more important than ever, these exhibitions are a valuable contribution to dealing with the past and a warning for the future.
