Book presentation and panel discussion on the Objekttage project

“Show us your story!” With this call for the collection project Objekttage, the Jewish Museum Berlin (JMB) asked Jews across Germany to tell their migration stories. Between 2017 and 2024, numerous participants accepted the invitation.



They described their personal stories and connections to Judaism using an object that accompanied them on their way to Germany and had acquired a special meaning for them - such as a model ship, a family photo or a leather jacket.


The book Objekttage brings together 125 portraits and migration stories of the participants. It is published at the end of the collection project of the same name and is being presented for the first time.


In a panel discussion, three of the participants - Elena Padva, Jake Schneider and Mona Nasirzadeh - personally present their objects and migration stories. Sofya Chernykh, Tamar Lewinsky and Theresia Ziehe, initiators and project managers of the Object Days at the JMB, will talk about why migration narratives are becoming increasingly important in museums and how the JMB is expanding its collections on this topic.
