Survivors: Faces of Life after the Holocaust

From 29 January to 26 February 2025, the ƱAPP hosted an exhibition of Martin Schoeller’s compelling and deeply moving portraits of Holocaust survivors as part of the events marking International Holocaust Remembrance Day.

A glimpse of the exhibition

Jewish memorial visit

In a dark chapter of the main building’s history, the cellar of the Grossmarkthalle was used during the Second World War as the assembly point for nearly 10,000 Jews, who were deported from there, by train, to concentration camps. It is possible to visit the onsite memorial by signing up for a guided tour organised by the Jewish Museum Frankfurt.

Elsaesser Exhibition

The Grossmarkthalle at the centre of the main building was designed by the architect Martin Elsaesser and built between 1926 and 1928. At that time, it was one of the largest building complexes in the city of Frankfurt, and also the world’s largest free spanning, reinforced concrete structure.
