„Die Rektoren der Tierärztlichen Hochschule Wien. Biografien zwischen Austrofaschismus, Nationalsozialismus und Zweiter Republik“

Alexander Pinwinkler presents, following extensive archival research in the book “Die Rektoren der Tierärztlichen Hochschule Wien”, the biographies of 22 rectors in the context of the political upheavals of the 20th century. He asks about individual entanglements with Austrofascism and National Socialism, as well as about continuities beyond the political rupture of 1945. The results thus make an important contribution to the historical reappraisal and culture of remembrance. The book will be presented on 26 November in the library of the Vetmeduni. Following a presentation by Alexander Pinwinkler and an assessment of the results by Sonja Schreiner and Renate Vedovelli of the Austauschgruppe Erinnerungsarbeit of the Vetmeduni, the panel discussion Erinnern als Kompass: Wissen um die Vergangenheit als Wegweiser für die Gegenwart? takes place.
