Curator’s Corner

Thorin Tritter, HMTC’s museum and programming director, talked about a photograph displayed in our gallery that shows a crowd waving Nazi flags in support of the German annexation of Austria on March 12, 1938, 84 years ago this week. Dr. Tritter described why the Nazis annexed Austria and the dramatic impact on the Jewish population.
