Michael schneeberger from kitzingen has made a name for himself as a meticulous tracker of jewish history in his hometown, the district of kitzingen, in lower franconia and even in bavaria. An exhibition in the old synagogue presented by the forderverein alte synagoge kitzingen in cooperation with the johanna stahl center in wurzburg presents the life’s work of schneeberger (1949-2014) and shows his development. The exhibition was opened on 21. European day of judaic culture opened and is still open until the 27th. September on view daily from 10 a.M. To 5 p.M.
At the opening ceremony, around 50 participants learned how schneeberger came into contact with judaism and tirelessly traveled in jewish footsteps throughout the region. The chairman of the forderverein, margret lother, emphasized that the work of the tracker, who was one of the founders of the forderverein, has always resulted in new connections to living witnesses and their descendants all over the world.
