world aids day

sunday December 1

From the very beginning that the disease AIDS raised its head, those four letters AIDS stood for Dolly: Always In Stress. For years, Dolly was literally terrified of love. She woke up every day with the fear: from whom would she receive another condolence card today or read an obituary in the newspaper? And how often did Dolly panic and think: I haven't seen so and so for a long time. Surely he can't be? With this background, Dolly has contributed to the fight against AIDS wherever possible over the past 35 years. Examples of this can be found in the exhibition Let love rule – Dolly Bellefleur 35 years on the barricades .

On World Aids Day, Dolly takes the time to reflect on the many friends and colleagues who did not survive this difficult battle. Visitors are cordially invited to bring a copy of a photo of a loved one who died of AIDS (maximum 10 x 15 cm). In memory, a special memorial wall has been set up, where these photos will be added with care.
