As part of the 16th Rothenburg Week of Jewish Culture, held under the motto “Le Chaim – To Life”, we had the pleasure of welcoming the Mayor of Rothenburg and a delegation from Middle Franconia to the BADEHAUS Place of Remembrance on 17 October.

It was particularly lovely to see some familiar faces again: Mayor Christoph Rösch and city guide Camilla Ebert had already accompanied us on our excursion to Rothenburg in May, showing us around their city. After giving us fascinating insights into Jewish life in this historic town on the Tauber River, our guests were now keen to learn more about the history of the Föhrenwald Displaced Persons Camp. The visit included a guided outdoor tour of present-day Waldram, followed by a tour of the museum with our Chair, Dr Sybille Krafft.

In our guestbook, the visitors from Rothenburg described their visit as “deeply moving”. At the end of the day, everyone agreed: the exchange between Rothenburg and the BADEHAUS should continue!
