The Gestapo was involved in almost all National Socialist crimes: Mistreatment, deportations, persecution, murder of numerous people. Only a few employees had to stand trial. The first special exhibition in the "Hotel Silber" sheds light on the difficult legal confrontation with the crimes of the Gestapo. However, questions of guilt, responsibility and punishment were not only dealt with in the courtroom. The trials triggered social and political debates about how to deal with the Nazi past: Is justice paramount? Or must it be weighed against "social peace" in the country of the perpetrators? How long after the crime does atonement still make sense?
The exhibition can be seen on the second floor from December 7, 2023 to February 2, 2025.
Admission: €2, reduced €1
