The Foundations Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe, the Topography of Terror and the New Synagogue Berlin – Centrum Judaicum have revised and extended the exhibition “Fire!”, which was first shown in 2008, to coincide with the 75th anniversary of the pogroms in November 1938. The exhibition “Fire! The 75th Anniversary of the November Pogroms in 1938” describes the heightened persecution of Jews in the Third Reich from June 1938 onwards and the impact of the wave of violence in November 1938 on Jewish communities, primarily in Berlin but also in many rural areas. A brand new section details what happened to the synagogues or their ruins after 1938. Examples from 26 locations illustrate different forms of remembrance in East, West and unified Germany, Austria, the Czech Republic and France, as well as in former German territories that are now part of Poland and the Russian Federation.
