Description

In 2007, Ecce Homo wanted to continue to make the material, research, preparations and donations from the exhibition “Life – a matter of secrecy”, which was sponsored by the National Fund, available to an interested public. The main intention was the establishment of an Ecce Homo archive for the Vienna’s lesbian and gay history of the 20th century, predominantly containing documents regarding the National Socialist persecution of lesbians and gays in Vienna. Moreover, extensive holdings from the research carried out by Hannes Sulzenbacher and Niko Wahl on the persecution of homosexuals was ready to be archived.

Zentrales Vorhaben ist dabei die Einrichtung des Ecce Homo Archivs für die lesbisch/schwule Geschichte Wiens des 20. Jahrhunderts. Darin befinden sich vor allem Unterlagen zur nationalsozialistischen Verfolgung von Lesben und Schwulen in Wien. Zudem liegen große Bestände aus den Forschungstätigkeiten von Hannes Sulzenbacher und Niko Wahl zur NS-Homosexuellenverfolgung ebenfalls zur Archivierung bereit.
