February 2025 – The traveling exhibition Remembr-House / Case di Memoria was inaugurated on Thursday, February 6, at the Gießen City Hall. Gießen, a German city twinned with Ferrara, hosts this exhibition as part of its European journey, offering a reflection on the home as an inalienable human right.

After traveling to Turin, Madrid, Ferrara, and then back to Turin at the State Archives, the exhibition will remain in Gießen until February 27.
The inauguration was led by Mayor Frank-Tilo Becher, who highlighted the city’s Jewish heritage:
“Jewish life in the region that is now Germany dates back to the 4th century AD—far longer than the history of our city, which began only in the 12th century. The history of Gießen is inextricably linked to the activities and destinies of the Jewish residents here, who played an important role in shaping it. Many of them made significant contributions to the prosperity, culture, and scientific life of our city.”
Also present at the event was the Director of MEIS (National Museum of Italian Judaism and the Shoah). Amedeo Spagnoletto: “Remembr-House – concluded: – is an educational project on the Holocaust, with a focus on the home and its deprivation. In these two years, we have organized both in-person and online training sessions for teachers, archivists, museums, and associations. We have also conducted numerous workshops with young people aged 13 to 19, focusing on the right to a home, the history of the Holocaust, and the importance of objects, both small and large, in our personal history. The result is a house in motion that has been traveling around Europe for six months. We hope its journey continues further!”
