January 27th 2023 International Holocaust-Memorial-Day

In memory of the Residents of Munich-Obermenzing, who became Victims of the Shoa

The Kulturforum München-West invited to a memorial hour in the Church of Leiden Christi in Obermenzing (see: website of Kulturforum München-West e.V.).

Members of the Geschichtswerkstatt Jüdischen Leben im Münchner Westen, Almuth David and Doris Barth, contributed to this evening. Based on research about the Kahn- and Hirsch families, first presented in an exhibition in 2008, they focused on Trina Kuttner née Kahn, one of the ten victims from Obermenzing. She had lived close-by in Obermenzing and died in Theresienstadt in 1943; the house still exists and had served as refuge for six Kahn family members from 1939 to 1941.
