KURATOR*INNENFÜHRUNG: "Die Dritte Welt im Zweiten Weltkrieg" - Führung durch die Kunstausstellung

In the organizer's words:

More soldiers from the "Third World" fought in the Second World War than from Western Europe. Both the fascist Axis powers and the Allies recruited auxiliary troops and laborers in their colonies, often by force. Large parts of the "Third World" served as battlefields and were left devastated and mined after the end of the war.

However, as serious as the consequences of the Second World War were in the "Third World", they were barely acknowledged in local historiography for a long time.

Changing this was and is the aim of this long-term historical project, which was started by the Rheinisches JournalistInnenbüro in Cologne in the 1990s and has been continued by the non-profit organization recherche international e.V. since 2000.

The exhibition in the NS-DOK vault is accompanied by artistic reflections from Africa, Asia and Oceania on the consequences of the Second World War. The artists Amado Alfadni and Jan Bannig will present their works. The guided tour is partly in English.

Places are limited. Please register for the event. If there are still places available, spontaneous participation on site is possible.
