Witness Stories: This environment was inspired by the stories of Kristallnacht survivors. Explore and touch everything.

Propaganda: This caricature of Herschel Grynszpan, the Jewish assassin of Ernst vom Rath, was on the cover of Der Stürmer in December 1938. The caption reads,

 'Jewish Murderer/Despicable Jewish deeds besmirch the land

In which the Jewish murderer was accorded the rights of a guest

You have given the murderous people a free path

If you treat the criminal like a human being!'
