The exhibition invites visitors to take a closer look at one of the largest national legal programmes for dealing with Nazi crimes, which for too long was overshadowed by the better-known Nuremberg Trials. The exhibition sheds light on the preconditions of the trials and openly assesses their implementation as well as what has been achieved. The questions of justice and an appropriate way of dealing with the past that were discussed at the time still preoccupy us today.
The special exhibition "Dachau Trials - Crimes, Trials and Responsibility" shows the scenes of the crimes, provides information on the legal basis, introduces court personnel, defendants and witnesses and gives an overview of individual trials and their consequences. The broad media resonance of the trials is also addressed. The exhibition deals with one of the largest Nazi trial complexes, which is still overshadowed by the better-known Nuremberg Trials. The questions about justice and dealing with the past that were discussed at the time are still relevant today.
