They disappeared from our streets, but not from the city – their memories still live here, between bricks and memories.

Home. Away. Holocaust in Trondheim

16 people from Trondheim and the Nordenfjellet region became victims of the Holocaust.

Overview_small.jpg

The exhibition Away. Home. tells of lives that were broken. In one of the museum's smallest rooms, the great losses are conveyed – 16 people from the Nordenfjeldske Norway who became victims of the Holocaust. Through urban spaces, images, quotes and own texts, the exhibition connects the individual stories to our common space and responsibility. Here we encounter not numbers, but people – and a lasting presence of what was lost.

The project group was established in August 2018 and consisted of the following:

  • Jon Reitan, historian and associate professor, Nord University

  • Tor Einar Fagerland, historian and associate professor, NTNU

  • Atle Aas AS, architectural firm

  • Ingrid Bugge Dystland, conservator, MiST

  • Aurora Jacobsen Evenshaug, curator, Jewish Museum Trondheim

  • Henriette Kahn, Deputy Chairman of the Board of the Jewish Museum Trondheim

  • Hanna Mellemsether, advisor, MiST

  • Tine Komissar, general manager and project manager, Jewish Museum Trondheim

  • Ablemagic AS, developer of digital tools, www.ablemagic.no/

The exhibition about the most terrible, great story has been placed in the smallest room in the Jewish Museum Trondheim. For 75 years, historians, writers and artists have tried to describe, analyze and understand the Holocaust. The exhibition builds on this. At the same time, some clear choices have been made that make this project something special. Integration of the urban space, and the use of photographs and quotes as remains are examples. Through short, self-produced texts, something is said about the lives of 16 people who were all directly affected by the Holocaust.

It is no small task, and it is one we have taken very seriously. Proximity, dignity and fact-based knowledge are words that have been repeated when the project group responsible for the work has discussed what we "want" with the material.
