A half-hour tour through the permanent exhibition entitled "Destroyed Diversity" shows how the self image of many Jews as German citizens of Jewish faith was suddenly destroyed in the year 1933. The tour concludes with the April Boycott of 1 April 1933. Following this, photographs and documents from the online exhibition "1933. The Beginning of the End of German Jewry" will be presented on a large screen. This enables the viewer to understand the story from the perspective of Jewish contemporaries of that time.
