Campus #26 „Play Auerbach!“

Philipp Auerbach, a Holocaust survivor and head of the Bavarian State Compensation Office, is presented at the Nazi Documentation Center as a key figure in post-war Munich. His office was central to the early Federal Republic of Germany’s reparations policy and served as the main point of contact for people persecuted on racial, religious, and political grounds in Bavaria.

Over two days, we will search for traces of Auerbach’s history and that of the displaced persons he cared for in public spaces. The practical part of the workshop will provide space for joint attempts at a hypothetical, sculptural translation of Philipp Auerbach’s life and work.
