Abstract:
The Wehrmacht exhibition of the Hamburg Institut für Sozialforschung was severely criticized for showing photos of victims of massacres as though these were the work of the Wehrmacht, when, according to the critics, they had in fact been perpetrated by the NKVD just before the Soviet withdrawal. One of the sites of disputed photos is Tarnopol. Analyzes these photos, and related ones not exhibited, and points to internal evidence that most of them, taken a few days after the arrival of the Wehrmacht in Tarnopol, show victims not long dead, among them soldiers of the Red Army; they must have died in the pogrom carried out by Ukrainians against Jews and communists in the first days of the German occupation. The many Wehrmacht soldiers seen looking on do not prove that any of them participated in the pogroms, but do make it seem likely.
