This exhibition will deal with National Socialism’s influence on cultural life in Upper Austria. This province, which the Nazis officially designated as Upper Danube, was the “Homeland of the Führer”; as such, it was accorded a special role in a number of areas including cultural policymaking. The exhibition will examine to what extent this “special role” actually manifested itself, what cultural policy measures were in fact implemented in Upper Austria during the Nazi era and what everyday cultural life was really like both before and during the war.
