“So where exactly was Rudolf Hess imprisoned here?” – This is a common question from visitors to the Spandau Citadel. The answer: “Nowhere.” The so-called War Criminals’ Prison, where Hess was the last inmate, was located in the Wilhelmstadt district of Spandau.
The exhibition in the Zeughaus of the Citadel marks 80 years since the end of the war and tells the full history of the prison. Alongside some previously unseen objects and images, eyewitness interviews provide new perspectives – and the idea of translating certain events into the visual language of comics sparks discussion.
How can comics be used to communicate history? And how can difficult historical topics be processed through comic art? Join us for a tour of the exhibition with comic artists Wiktor Dubnow and Björn Stäbe from Timeless Studio W.B., accompanied by one of the exhibition’s curators.
Please note: The tour will be held in German.
