Based on the history of the building, the exhibition tells of the crimes committed by the police during the Second World War and attempts to come to terms with them in the post-war period. It deals with the enormous dimension of the uniformed police's involvement in the Second World War and the genocides against Jews, Sinti*zze and Rom*nja, public and personal denazification and continuities after 1945, the legal process of coming to terms with Nazi injustice and the Federal Republic's bureaucratic attempt to "make amends" to former victims of persecution.
