Guided Tours

In the course of our lives we are required again and again to cope with transitions to new chapters in our lives. Consequently we face new and changing challenges. All cultures develop specific strategies and rituals to mark such passages and to facilitate dealing with them.

Guided tours through the exhibition "A Time for Everything. Rituals Against Forgetting" offer information about Jewish rituals of transition and of remembrance, explaining the use of individual objects on display in the exhibition. The rituals that these objects refer to concern birth, marriage, and death, but also topics such as oppression and freedom, or the transition from the sacred Shabbat to everyday life during the week.

The exhibition and the tours also touch on secular acts of commemoration that we encounter, for example, in strongly ritualized remembrance of the Nazi period and the Shoah. The contemporary art installations by Quintan Ana Wikswo on display in the exhibition, however, are reminiscent of an aspect of persecution that generally remains unmentioned in public acts of commemoration: She treats the disappearance of traces of the camp brothel in Dachau, that is, the sexual exploitation of women in the concentration camps.
