A wide variety of objects relating to Jewish history in Vorarlberg, Tyrol, and the greater Lake Constance area.

Exhibits in seven thematic categories, including: What belongs in the museum? What remains after the destruction? What remains of life? and What remains of the ritual? Detailed discussion of each exhibit. 64 items. |

The exhibition was extended until 19 February 2017. |
