Jews in the Military and Police
Continuing Education
In this educational program, participants gain insight into the long journey German Jews undertook toward equal civil rights during a visit to the permanent exhibition. They learn that Jews’ eligibility for military service and their loyalty to Germany were repeatedly called into question.
Between 1933 and 1945, anti-Semitism became a state policy; Jews were stripped of their rights, persecuted, and murdered. This exclusion also extended to the police and military. At the same time, the German military and police played an active role in the persecution. Participants will gain insight into how the confrontation with the Holocaust and its repression shaped relations between Jews and non-Jews after 1945. In a concluding discussion, they will exchange views on the options for action they perceive both then and now.
This program is primarily aimed at members of the German Armed Forces and the police. Please contact us if you have specific topic requests; we can adapt the training program upon consultation.
