Continuing impact in Bochum: Women in Resistance – moving, close, relevant today

On June 11, 2026, Café Historias in the Fritz Bauer Forum transforms into a place of intense memory culture: The exhibition and series 'continuing impact | Women in Resistance' makes courageous Bochum women visible who resisted politically, civically, and culturally during the Nazi era. Admission free, strong content, dense event atmosphere.

Alive Memory: Installations, Images, Texts

The curated presentation shows female resistance as a multi-voiced event experience: Installations, visual works, and precisely researched texts open perspectives on life paths that have long remained hidden. The interplay of artistic representation and historical context fosters a reflective audience atmosphere.

Animated Film Else Hirsch: Silent Images, Great Impact

Artist Lui Kohlmann depicts the story of Jewish teacher Else Hirsch in a haunting, black-and-white silent film. Reduction in form, maximum impact in space: The film compresses biography into moving scenes that make memory tangible.

Word, Sound, Data: Voices of Resistance

Audio works by Jule Hellmich, poems by Issam Al-Najm, and a data-visible installation by Dr. Simone Neumann-Salva complement the program. The triad of language, sound, and visualization translates research into immediate perception – a prime example of clever target group communication and successful event planning.

Curated in Bochum, Anchored in the Forum

Curator Dorothee Schäfer consolidates artistic contributions and contemporary history into a focused exhibition design. As a project of the Fritz Bauer Forum, the series connects local memory with democratic education – well-founded, respectful, and dialogue-oriented.
