A meaningful visit
Minister Stark-Watzinger's visit to the ANU Museum is part of a comprehensive program designed to strengthen bilateral relations between Germany and Israel. The ANU Museum, known as the Museum of the Jewish People, provides a unique platform for presenting Jewish history, culture and the contribution of the Jewish people to the world community. This mission is particularly evident in the special exhibition on Hamas terror, which documents the terrible day of October 7, when many innocent people fell victim to violence.
The special exhibition: Warning and remembrance
The special exhibition at the ANU Museum highlights the horrific events of October 7 and serves as a reminder of the cruelty of terror. Photos, videos and personal stories of the victims paint a detailed picture of the horror that people experienced that day. This Exhibition is intended not only to inform visitors, but also to sensitize them and remind them of the importance of standing up against terror and violence.
The role of the ANU Museum
The ANU Museum in Tel Aviv plays a central role in preserving and communicating Jewish history and culture. It offers not only permanent exhibitions but also changing special exhibitions that focus on current and historical events. These special exhibitions allow visitors to delve deeper into specific topics and develop a better understanding of the challenges and achievements of the Jewish people.
Strengthening German-Israeli relations
The visit of Minister Stark-Watzinger underlines the importance of German-Israeli relations. It shows that Germany is determined not only to bear historical responsibility, but also to overcome current and future challenges together. Exchange in the areas of education, science and culture is a central pillar of this cooperation.
An emotional experience
The visit to the ANU Museum, especially the viewing of the special exhibition, was a deeply moving experience for Minister Stark-Watzinger and the accompanying delegation. The exhibition is a striking reminder of how important it is to keep the memory of the victims alive and to learn lessons from the past for the future.
In summary, visiting and paying special attention to the ANU Museum's special exhibition shows how education and cultural institutions can play an essential role in promoting understanding and compassion and developing a more resilient society against terror and injustice.
