Democratic new beginning with former Nazi jurists?
The Federal Ministry of Justice in the Shadow of the Nazi past
01 Why this Exhibition?
This exhibition is part of a critical study of the National Socialist past of the Federal Ministry of Justice and Consumer Protection (BMJV). Supplemented by accompanying events, the exhibition is intended to present the results of the "Rosenburg Files" study and stimulate discussion. What until now has been "in the shadows" is to be brought to light.
That is why the exhibition elements also have two sides: a brighter front side = public façade and a darker shadow side = background and abyss.
The critical examination of Germany's Nazi past is not over – there are still many open questions. We are all part of this awareness-raising process, in which we learn from the mistakes of the past and prevent them happening in the future.
