The exhibition makes the ongoing threat of right-wing terrorism visible through regional and international examples, including the 1980 Oktoberfest bombing and the murders committed by the NSU terrorist group between 2000 and 2007, placing them in a historical context. It becomes clear that right-wing terrorism is not a temporary or local phenomenon, but a constant part of German and international history.
