This special exhibition invites a calm, impressive encounter with 75 years of the Central Council of Jews in Germany. At the Municipal Museum Braunschweig, a faith and educational experience unfolds, connecting Jewish history, social engagement, and the enduring significance of religious identity.
Jewish History as a Living Present
The exhibit was created in close cooperation with the Central Council of Jews in Germany, focusing on key figures, thematic islands, and historical milestones. The tour provides insights into the founding period after the Shoah, questions of reconstruction and memory culture, as well as the role of the Central Council as a voice for Jewish life in the Federal Republic.
A Place for Reflection, Knowledge, and Dialogue
At the House on Löwenwall, visitors encounter an atmosphere of concentration and respect. The exhibition connects theology, contemporary history, and cultural responsibility with a clear message: Jewish life belongs visibly at the center of society. This connection of museum practice, religious experience, and democratic education shapes the unique character of this place.

It broadens the view on Jewish traditions, current issues of coexistence, and the history of communities, institutions, and remembrance in Germany. Thus, a visit to the exhibition becomes a lively exchange about responsibility, attitude, and community.
