Digital Handbook, “Tracing Gurs”

Documentation project of the Jewsih Cemeteries

After the pandemic restrictions were loosened, it became obvious that there was a lively public interest in all the exhibitions in the Blue House, in its garden, in the former Jewish quarter and in the city center.

The Documentation Center of National Socialism of the Municipal Museums of Freiburg joined with the Blue House to present a series of events on the theme of the exhibition “Gurs 1940.”

The federal project “Seeking Traces: Breisach-Gurs-Auschwitz” (2020-2022) concluded with two thematic trainings and the completion of a digital handbook.

Marek Leszczynski from Hechingen was asked to photograph all tombstones and fragments on both
Jewish cemetaries in Breisach.
