In French exile, he painted portraits of companions who, like him, had to leave Germany.
The exhibition traces their fates and approaches Liebknecht's artistic work from a historical perspective. It was created in close collaboration with Michael Janitzki (Giessen), administrator of Robert Liebknecht's estate.
