"Ihr müßt sein, auch wenn ihr nicht mehr seid": The Jewish Central Museum in Prague and Historical Memory in the Third Reich

Dirk Rupnow1

1 University of Vienna

Some scholars have suggested that the Nazis planned not only to exterminate the Jews physically, but to erase them from the very historical record. But the collection and exhibition activities of Jewish scholars working under the direction of the SS in occupied Prague undermine such arguments, the author asserts. The establishment of the Jewish Central Museum—by which preservation and documentation were associated with looting and extermination—implies a different understanding of the nature and role of memory in the Third Reich.
