Public guided tour of the permanent exhibition

"Imagine an arrow. It flies towards you. That's how an object comes to you. You don't understand why it comes to you. But it touches you. It hurts you. And you start looking for why it touches and hurts you."


Michel came to Germany from Syria as a teenager. He is deaf. When he visited the Jewish Museum with his class for the first time in 2020, he felt emotionally overwhelmed. Today he leads the tour through the permanent exhibition himself.

He starts from his own experiences of escape, exclusion and new beginnings and focuses on individual points of connection to German-Jewish history.

Which moment, which object or photo remains in your memory and why?

Inspired by Roland Barthes' concept of the "punctum", Michel shows his personal highlights of the permanent exhibition and encourages participants to make their own connections to history.

The tour takes place in German sign language and is aimed at young people and adults.
