The exhibition was created as part of the research project ‘The Police in Austria. Ruptures and Continuities 1938-1945’, initiated by the Federal Ministry of the Interior and carried out at the University of Graz/Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for Research on the Consequences of War in cooperation with the Documentation Centre of Austrian Resistance and the Mauthausen Memorial. Over a period of two years, the archives of the Federal Ministry of the Interior and the provincial police directorates were analysed and findings collected. For the first time, significant new sources were introduced to the scientific community. In contrast to other educational formats, the exhibition is aimed specifically at a non-academic audience and pursues the goal of science to the public without assuming any fundamental prior knowledge or understanding of history. It is intended as a teaching and learning aid that provides a basic insight and introduction to the topic and makes some of the research content available for school or individual study. The academic publication offers more in-depth analyses.
