The traveling exhibition Held. Deported from Germany 1938-1945 by #lastseen shows an intense engagement with the deportation photographs from the German Reich at AKUSO Regensburg.

Images as historical evidence
At the center of the #lastseen project is the image atlas with photographs of the deportations from 1938 to 1945. The exhibition makes visible how photographs can be read as sources of violent history and how precise curation unlocks historical contexts. It is precisely this connection of documentation, research, and work examination that gives the project its unique authority. ([atlas.lastseen.org](https://atlas.lastseen.org/))
Regensburg as a place of reflection
The AKUSO Regensburg at Haidplatz 3 provides a fitting setting for this exhibition in the historical ambiance of the old town. According to event information, the exhibition is accessible from April 2 to 25, 2026, every Wednesday to Saturday between 12 and 6 PM; it takes place in the social book salon on the ground floor.

Didactics, context, and cultural education
#lastseen does not see itself as a mere collection of images, but as a scientifically contextualized digital edition and interactive exhibition. This is precisely where the educational value arises: Visitors encounter not only photographs but a differentiated historical narrative about persecution, deportation, and memory culture.

Spaces of pause
The exhibition is aimed at all who are interested in contemporary history, museum education, and the aesthetic experience of historical documents. In the tension between sober sources and emotional impact, an art experience unfolds that resonates long after. ([atlas.lastseen.org](https://atlas.lastseen.org/))
Conclusion: This exhibition opens a concentrated, impressive approach to the history of Nazi deportations and makes historical photographs readable as evidence of violence and loss. Anyone visiting Regensburg in April 2026 should not miss this quiet, important, and visually powerful exhibition event. ([regensburg.de](https://www.regensburg.de/veranstaltungen/detail/610199))
