Ausstellungseröffnung: Kritik im Nationalsozialismus. Kölner Fälle 1934-1944

In the organizer's words:

In 1974, an exhibition focused for the first time on the "previously unexplored resistance" in National Socialist Cologne. It identified the city's "strongest resistance groups" in order to show that there was "resistance everywhere at local level" even during the tyranny of National Socialism.

50 years later, the NS-DOK is once again addressing this topic in a different way: Instead of focusing on the opponents and critics of National Socialism in Cologne, it asks about the significance of criticism in the Nazi dictatorship. What place did those in power assign it in Nazi society? How did they react to open dissent, to collective discontent, to private grumbling or to public criticism?

With a collection of case histories, the exhibition invites visitors to independently explore how the state and society dealt with criticism under National Socialism. The exhibition paints a new picture of criticism and resistance in National Socialist Cologne, which also raises questions about how to commemorate resistance in the future.

All interested parties are cordially invited to the exhibition opening.
