Memorial Museum, Assisi 1943 -1944
Set in the halls of the Vescovado, the "Memorial Museum, Assisi 1943 - 1944" tells the story of 300 Hebrews rescued thanks to the Assisi's Franciscan welcoming spirit.
The exhibition collects unpublished documents, pictures, acknoledgments, essays and objects about that terrible historical period represented by the second world war, when displaced people from all over Italy and Europe arrived to the Seraphic town to ask for help, and about the different characters who helped personally and rescued Hebrews; this and much more. The exhibition is created and supervised by Marina Rosati, with texts of Annabella Donà and made by the Opera Casa Pope John, foundation of Assisi's Curia.
