Guided walk with Peter Bollag, Steffi Bollag, and Elio Leu
The former La Charmille retirement home in Riehen (1947–2002) was more than just a place for the elderly to live—it was also a refuge, a community bound by shared fate, and a center of Jewish culture. And thus also a place of longing, a place full of love—and for some, an ambivalent new home.
The tour guides along the way—Steffi Bollag and Peter Bollag (both of whom grew up at La Charmille) as well as Elio Leu (student exhibition assistant) share stories of what was loved and what was hated, and recount anecdotes about the long journey to Basel, to their favorite resting spot, and to beloved people and memories.
Meeting point: Inzlingerstrasse 235, Riehen (former site of the Humanitas retirement home)
The tour ends at the MUKS Museum Kultur & Spiel Riehen in the special exhibition “Schabbes, Schnitzel, Mehrbettzimmer.” "
