Pop Up Boat of the Jewish Museum Frankfurt

The Tracking the Traffic project invited the citizens of Frankfurt to attend a live casting and slip into the role of Bertha Pappenheim. The casting turned the spotlight on this multi-talented Jewish activist, translator, manager, writer, chairwoman, politician, bridge-builder, patient, women’s rights campaigner, educationalist, social worker, agitator, lobbyist, teacher, traveler, founder, and grand dame, and brought to life, in several acts, the many ways in which Pappenheim (1859–1936) influenced the world around her, in her hometown Frankfurt and beyond.
