Lange Nacht der Museen - Zeitgeschichte Museum

What's it about?

The Time History Museum Ebensee, located very close to the former Ebensee concentration camp (4 km away), commemorates the political history of the Salzkammergut region between 1918 and 1955. It moves away from idealized homeland images and shows the political conflicts of the Lagerkultur (camp culture) of the First Republic, the history of persecution under National Socialism, forms of resistance, and the fundamentals of dealing with the Nazi era after 1945. It thus opposes harmonized views of the past and forms an essential part of reflective memory culture. THE 'GERHART BARON LIBRARY' ON THE HISTORY OF THE WORKERS' MOVEMENT AND WORKERS' POETRY (FROM 7:00 PM TO 8:30 PM) Special objects from the library, which includes more than 1,400 volumes and manuscripts, will be presented, discussed, and read aloud in selected passages. Workers' songs, performed by the 'Arbeitergesangsverein Kohlröserl' (Workers' Song Association Kohlröserl), will accompany the event musically.
