The exhibition is based on a research project carried out at the Special Research Area ‘Interreligiosity’ (SIR) at the KPH Vienna / Lower Austria. As part of this oral history project, detailed interviews were conducted with people who attended school in Vienna during the 1920s and 1930s. In doing so, the researchers placed particular emphasis on the diversity of worldviews and religions. They interviewed, amongst others, Catholics, Jews, Protestants and members of trade unions. The interviews document, on the one hand, the nuanced ways in which the eyewitnesses recall the diversity of worldviews and religions. On the other hand, it becomes clear how rapidly the diversity of worldviews and religions declined during those years.
