[6] In 1939 a sanitation building was constructed for the male population of the Föhrenwald camp,[7][8] as the modest houses where the workers of the nearby ammunition factory lived, had no bath tubs or showers.

[7] From October 1945 onwards, by order of the American Military Administration, the camp was inhabited exclusively by Jews who had survived the National Socialist regime.

[3] In addition, initiated by the Rabbi Yekusiel Yehudah Halberstam,[9] a mikveh, a Jewish ritual bath, was set-up in the cellar of the building.

[11][15] In 1963 the ground-floor of the building was converted into flats for teachers [b] and in the attic rooms for the pupils of the catholic school Spätberufenenseminar St. Matthias were installed.

[20][15] In September 2012 The association Bürger fürs Badehaus Waldram-Föhrenwald e.V, headed by historian and journalist Sybille Krafft [de], was founded.

[11][23] In more than 20,000 honorary working hours,[13][5] also with professional assistance and with the financial support from the municipality of Wolfratshausen, the district administration of Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen, the Bavarian government and the European Union, it was possible to refurbish the building and to create the museum.

[31][9] A permanent multimedia-based exhibition shows the local and the migration history in European dimensions at the time of the National Socialism and at the post-war period in Germany after 1945.

[31][9] Each phase shows the local history of Föhrenwald and Waldram with examples in a cross-locational context: the beginning as a Nazi model settlement for the armes workers in 1939; the temporary use for survivors of the concentration camp prisoners' death march in 1945; the transformation into a camp for Jewish displaced persons in mid-1945; again a transformation into a settlement for refugees and expellees from Eastern European countries in 1956; and finally the development into the suburban living quarters of Waldram nowadays.

In the attic the installation "Forest of Memories"[32][33] gives an insight into the respective destinies of camp Föhrenwald contemporary witnesses and inhabitants from Waldram.

In the darkened room the floating pictures overlap and create an imaginary walk through the location accompanied by music, texts and quotations.

[35][circular reference] The outdoor presentation tells the stories of the Jewish children's lives in the Föhrenwald DP camp using historical pictures provided by private individuals as well as documents from international archives.

Visitors can book circular tours around the location and to the remains of the armament factories situated in the former socalled Wolfratshauser Forst (nowadays belonging to the town of Geretsried).

It marked the first jubilee of the opening of the museum with the reading Es gibt noch Sterne über den Ruinen (The stars still shine on the ruins) by the author Dagmar Nick, who writes post-war lyrics and is a contemporary witness with Jewish roots.

The concept of this exhibition, developed by Kaija Voss and Sybille Krafft, is based on photographs taken by Jean Molitor; and was in accordance with the festivities for the Bauhaus jubilee all over Germany.

In cooperation with the Bund Naturschutz photographs taken by author and artist Antje Bultmann, who lives in Wolfratshausen, were presented to inspire the visitors to become aware again of the great importance of the element water.

This exhibition of the society Haus des Deutschen Ostens (Center for the Culture of the Germans in the eastern part of Europe, situated in Munich, Germany) on escape, expulsion and deportation of Germans out of Eastern Europe was supplemented in the Place of Remebrance Badehaus by stories about the personal possessions of families who settled in today's Waldram after their escape and expulsion.

These items had been found in a wreck of a boat that had sunk in 2015; the Italian photographer Mattia Balsamini took the pictures for Milan's forensic department.

In 32 portraits people are shown who, after the war, found a temporary home in the Upper Bavarian Isar valley and who now live in either Germany, Israel or the US.

[65] The honorary engagement for the Badehaus museum brings several generations together: pupils, university students and voluntary workers: all make substantial contributions[66]
