Project

 

Description

The first comprehensive archaeological research in the Mauthausen concentration camp were very successful due to the productive interdisciplierary cooperation between historians and the work groups for the redesign of the memorial and to the generous financial support of the National Fund of the Republic of Austria and the Federal Ministry of the Interior. The numerous finds were restored in 2010. They were mostly objects directly related to the construction of the barracks. In 2010, the prospection of the outlying areas was completed (camp III). As a result, there was now a complete plan of the entire concentration camp and the archaeological digs were resumed in connection with the redesign.

in German:
Das Projekt „Und was hat das mit mir zu tun?“ will Beiträge zu derzeit lebhaft diskutierten Fragestellungen in Geschichtswissenschaft, Pädagogik, Museologie, empirischer Sozialwissenschaft und Migrationsforschung liefern. Dies geschieht in Zusammenarbeit mit SchülerInnen und LehrerInnen des Brigittenauer Gymnasiums in Wien und mündet in die Entwicklung von Interventionen in die bestehende Ausstellung in der Gedenkstätte im Brigittenauer Gymnasiums – Karajangasse. Die Schule wird dabei nicht nur zum Ort der Untersuchung, sondern auch der Wissensproduktion.
