| Description |
An updated version of the exhibition, curated by Ralph Weingarten, toured Switzerland beginning in 1998. It was accompanied by a new brochure, Schweizer Juden: Broschüre zur Wanderausstellung der Gesellschaft Minderheiten in der Schweiz (GMS) und der Stiftung gegen Rassismus und Antisemitismus (32 pp., illus.). Much of the material in the 1998 exhibition was identical to that shown in the original exhibition of 1982. |
