About the exhibition:

The findings of the Rosenburg Files (2016)—a four-year study of the post-World War II establishment of the German justice ministry and named after the ministry's first official residence in Bonn—revealed that there was an alarmingly high degree of continuity between the personnel of the Nazi judiciary and the justice ministry through the 1950s and into the 1960s. Through visual and auditory interactive displays, The Rosenburg—The Federal Ministry of Justice in the Shadow of the Nazi Past explores how the justice ministry handled its Nazi past and eventually came to terms with this open secret.
