Signs inscribed in squares and buildings make Linz’s Nazi past visible.

IN SITU jogs the city’s collective memory by means of inconspicuous signals. Temporary signs in the public space pinpoint sites of Nazi terror in Linz. The locations of key institutions of the Nazi system, such as the seat of the Gestapo in Langgasse are included alongside the sites where Jews were persecuted and of the everyday Nazi terror as exemplified by denunciations. By linking concrete places to what happened IN SITU the history of the Nazi policies of persecution and extermination is made temporarily accessible for Linzers. IN SITU sees itself as a mediation project that combines scientific research with artistic interventions.
