| Responses to the "Wehrmacht Exhibition" in Austria |
|
| To date, the exhibition "War of Extermination Crimes of the Wehrmacht 1941 -1944" has been shown in six Austrian towns. It has triggered a range of strong reactions from denial of the crimes to enthusiastic assent. In this workshop, we will discuss the different reactions and their causes. |
