In the early 1930s, there were already courageous young women who resisted National Socialism in Berlin-Kreuzberg. The FHXB Museum commemorates the resistance group around Eva Mamlok in its new special exhibition.

Ausstellung - Schriftzug in mehreren Sprachen
Eva Mamlok, a teenager from a Jewish family, initially stood up to National Socialism alone, later together with other women, in everyday actions. They formed networks, distributed leaflets, wrote slogans on house walls and organised a secret library.
They were persecuted as Jewish women and had to perform forced labour. They were arrested and deported for their anti-fascist activities. But even under the worst conditions, they never gave up their resistance.
Their story has been little analysed to date, partly because only a few sources and documents have survived. However, there are reports from the only survivor of the group, Inge Gerson-Berner. The exhibition is the first to present the extensive academic research of a civil society network. It brings together historical documents, images and testimonies that invite people to research the past, but also reveals gaps and omissions. It opens up a space for questions and debates in order to raise awareness of the importance of women in the resistance against National Socialism.
