New Exhibition at Simon Wiesenthal Museum: Children as Victims of Wartime Sexual Violence

This event presents the collected volume 'I haven't even told my mother', which examines sexual and sexualised violence against children during and after the Second World War. The book stems from a 2023 conference and highlights previously under-researched aspects of wartime suffering.

This event centers around the book presentation of 'I haven't even told my mother. Children as victims of sexual and sexualised violence in the Second World War and its aftermath', edited by Helga Amesberger, Helga Embacher, and Johannes-Dieter Steinert. The collected volume addresses the largely under-researched topic of sexual and sexualised violence experienced by children during and immediately after the Second World War, building on a conference held in Summer 2023 at the University of Salzburg. The findings presented are described as "empörend, beschämend und erschreckend," shedding light on a critical and often overlooked dimension of wartime atrocities.

Registration is required by March 23, 2026, 2:00 PM, via email. By participating, attendees consent to the publication of photos, video, and audio recordings from the event.
