Georg Kolbe? The memorial is - according to Wiki - in Stralsund?

Best regards

Which city has carefully recorded the name of every Jewish resident deported by the Nazis on a public memorial?
(And, I might add, kept it scrupulously free of graffiti, rubbish, skateboarders and other signs of neglect and indifference.)

[Oberhessin]

Hannover

[Adam Carr]

Correct. (Of course it's the only city to have done so. Frankfurt has recorded all the names on the external wall of the Jewish cemetery, and there may well be others.)

[Adam Carr]

Probably the best-known Jewish resident of Frankfurt, apart from the Rothschilds, but I believe they all left in time.

[Oberhessin]

Who is the creator of this sculpture and who bought it?

[Geoff Walden]

Partial credit? The work was "Galatea" by Fritz Klimsch (1939), but I don't know who bought it.

[Oberhessin]

Galatea by Fritz Klimsch is correct. But who bought it?

[Oberhessin]

First hint: the prize was 30.000 RM.

[Max]

Haus der Deutschen Kunst

[Oberhessin]

Second hint. It was sold through the House der Deutschen Kunst.

[Adam Carr]

I thought this looked familiar - Klimsch also did the IG Farben lady, who looked a bit chilly the day I was there.
Sadly, the intertubes have no idea where Galatea is now. She seems to have vanished. Maybe she's hidden away in Moscow?

[Oberhessin]

Hidden away to public eye. Second hint
