About
To investigate critically theological aspects of witnessing against the historical background of Upper Austria’s 1930’s and 1940’s can be theologically most productive. At the same time it forces one to gaze into the abysses of humanity. The region’s most outstanding witness was, of course, Franz Jaegerstaetter (1907-1943), but he was not the only one. The course will be taught in an interdisciplinary manner by both historians and theologians. Excursions to historic sites as well as possibly meeting with some family members of the survivors will play a central role in this course.
