"The Exilmuseum Berlin Foundation mourns the loss of its long-serving Board of Trustees member Axel Ganz, who passed away on 22 July 2026 at the age of 87. Born in southern Baden, the magazine publisher and committed citizen, who shaped the French magazine market like no other, actively supported the Exilmuseum project in countless conversations with Bernd Schultz, with whom he had a close friendship for many years. He declared at a very early stage that he would be available to serve as a member of our Board of Trustees. He championed and supported the idea of the Exilmuseum with his passion, enthusiasm and wealth of experience. We owe much to him, his wise counsel and his commitment, and we bow before this remarkable man, who did so much for our Exilmuseum."
