“The exhibition on Ljubljana during the Second World War offers a comprehensive overview of the key events that shaped the city in this period. It highlights the role of Ljubljana’s inhabitants and the decisive personal choices that influenced the course of events, as well as the realities of everyday survival under occupation. Special attention is devoted to the real-life stories of individuals, which speak to visitors on a deeply personal level. At the same time, the exhibition encourages reflection on our responsibility within history and on how we understand the past in light of the present.”
