BAS - Opfer fur die Freiheit

About

This historical exhibition documents the events of the 1960s in South Tyrol. At that time, state policies formulated in Rome and plainly pursuing the objective of infiltrating and denationalizing South Tyrol and thus reducing the ethnic German and Ladin populace - representing the numerical majority - to a disenfranchised minority and expunging their identity. The "Liberation Committee of South Tyrol" (BAS) attempted to carry out demonstrative attacks - especially against high-voltage power lines - in order to draw the world's attention to the unendurable conditions in South Tyrol. Unfortunately, there were deaths on both sides - and none of them should be forgotten. The exhibition should remind everybody of the people who died during this period, their suffering and the whole tragedy.
