Making Resistance Visible: Life Stories of Courage and Civil Courage

The exhibition Women in Resistance against National Socialism in the Rochus Chapel Landshut illuminates the long-underestimated commitment of women against the Nazi dictatorship. As a traveling exhibition of the Memorial to the German Resistance, it combines historical research, curatorial precision, and an intense exhibition atmosphere that invites contemplation of the works and aesthetic experience in the sacred space.

Curatorial Perspective: Life Stories instead of Legends

At the center are carefully researched biographies from different social backgrounds and political camps. They show concrete actions – from obtaining forged papers to spreading banned writings and rescuing persecuted Jews – and place these deeds in a cultural and art-historical context of the 1930s and 1940s. The curation relies on clear image-text dialogues, condensed testimonial materials, and an exhibition design that respects the spatial effect of the Gothic chapel.

Space, Light, Material: A Sensual Approach

The daylight of the Rochus Chapel models the exhibits, emphasizing paper surfaces, photographs, and print graphics, while discreet installations direct attention to forms, colors, and historical materiality. Thus, an art experience is created that combines empathy and critical reflection and leads visitors into concentrated contemplation of the works.

History with Contemporary Relevance

The exhibition shows the social breadth of resistance and updates historical experiences for today's discourses on democracy, human rights, and civil society. Accompanying media and scientific publications deepen the content and strengthen cultural education.

Conclusion

Visitors can expect a precise, moving, and fact-based exhibition that makes the courage and scope of action of women in resistance tangible. Take the opportunity for your own aesthetic experience in the special ambiance of the Rochus Chapel and let yourself be inspired by historical life paths to a civic attitude today.
