At the interface of Pictorial Science and Visual Culture Studies, this article aims at analyzing visual memory politics. In this respect, strategies of visually reconstructing the past are at stake. While the so called “practices of showing” are vital to examing the Austrian visual memory of the Nazi past, strategies of visually blotting out certain aspects of history are equally important. Using the example of a broschure edited by the ÖVP-FPÖ-government in 2005, this article aims at exploring which pictures are used in order to represent the 60th anniversary of the end of WWII, the 50th anniversary of the signing of the state treaty as well as the 20th anniversary of Austria joining the European Union.
