Reconstruction Of The Two First Hungarian Official Auschwitz Exhibits Reconstruction of the first two official Hungarian Auschwitz exhibits, which opened on site during the time of Communist rule in 1965 and 1980, respectively. The two exhibits, in line with the official historiography, retroactively replaced the Jewish inmates with communist anti-fascist resistors in the camps; the Jews had been killed in Auschwitz, and their traces were lost subsequently. The exhibition intends to reveal the secret the Communist presentations wanted to hide: the mutual fear, suspicion, paranoia, the inability of the East-Central European societies to face their tragedy following World War II. http://www.osa.ceu.hu/galeria/auschwitz/ Updated 14-Jun-06
