Until 17 September 2026 at the Jewish Museum Vienna
This exhibition explores the theme of forgetting through the lens of power and its absence – a complex connection, as suggested by the Hebrew words for power (koach) and forgetting (lishkoach). In particular, it addresses this difficult issue in the context of Austria’s reluctance to confront its past during the Holocaust, right up until the Waldheim Affair in 1986. Artists taking part include Arnold Dreyblatt, Dani Gal, Esther Hovers, Brigitte Kowanz, Maya Schweizer, Sigrid Sigurdsson, William Utermohlen and Patrick Zachmann.
