Description

Exhibition Opening & Keynote Lecture

During World War II, a comparatively high number of men sought refuge in the Ötztal to escape military service, most of them fleeing from another deployment at the front.

The majority survived the war, thanks to a strong and well-functioning network. Sisters, mothers, wives, as well as police officers and doctors, played a crucial role in enabling their desertion.

In this exhibition, descendants remember these events. Dr. Peter Pirker will open the event with a keynote lecture.
