| Summary: | Entering the current temporary exhibit Some Were Neighbors: Collaboration and Complicity at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington D.C., the visitor soon comes across a photo taken in August of 1933 in the quaint university town of Marburg. The photo shows a young Jewish man dressed in a formal dark suit, carrying a large sign that reads: “Ich habe ein Christenmädchen geschändet” (I have defiled a Christian girl). Members of the Sturmabteilung force him to walk through Marburg's streets. Civilians and children on bikes accompany this almost festive procession, while smiling Bürger (ordinary, middle-class townspeople), including women with toddlers in their arms, stand on the sidewalk to watch the public humiliation of their Jewish neighbor. |
