The Silent Heroes Memorial Centre and Museum Blindenwekstatt Otto Weidt

These to Museums are pretty amazing and informative to go to and look at they are both located in the same spot on Rosenhalter Strasse where there is a small alley, with amazing art along the walls.

The Museum Blindenwekstadtt Otto Weidt

This is where Otto Weidt had a workshop where he had hired blind workers to work for him, but not only were many of the workers blind they were also blind jewish workers, they made brushes at this workshop. Otto had also helped to try and protect many Jews from deportation, and there are many stories within the small area talking about them, also he even helped out Jews who had been deportated. As well as another major thing that Otto did is that he created hiding places for them as well as one in the workshop itself.

















The Silent Heroes Memorial Centre

This museum is to commentate individuals who had help prosecuted Jews during the Nazi regime, it shows many stories of people or families of the jewish and how things went for them at the that time when they were going through the deportation and prosecution and also stories of helpers, and there is a list of names of the many helpers that lent a hand.
