Public guided tour of the special exhibition "Consul Carl Lutz"

The silent hero who saved 60,000 lives

To commemorate the 50th anniversary of the death of Consul Carl Lutz from Walzenhausen, the museum remembers his extraordinary civil courage. During the Second World War, he saved around 60,000 people from persecution in Budapest in 1944/45. The exhibition shows documents, photographs and film sequences that trace his eventful life. The excerpts from his reports to the Federal Administration from 1946 and his personal curriculum from 1968 offer special insights.
