"Illuminated: Jewish Life Paths in Western Munich" is a comprehensive companion volume to the exhibition of the same name at the Pasinger Fabrik. The book documents the life paths of Jewish individuals who lived or worked in the districts of Pasing, Obermenzing, and Aubing between 1880 and 1970. It highlights the biographies of significant figures such as the merchants Neuburger, the city photographer Albert Lehmann, and the opera singer Berthold Sterneck. Additionally, it provides insights into a largely unknown chapter of the industrial history of this region and addresses the challenges faced by Jewish people before and during the Nazi era. The work concludes with examples of Jewish life after 1945 in Pasing and Obermenzing, thus contributing to the culture of remembrance and the understanding of Jewish history in Munich.
