5. SOUNDBITE (German) Vox pop, Hannelore (no last name given), Visitor from Dortmund:
At the exhibition were pictures of a little ten-year-old girl that could have been me. My entire past is now present again. I'm really moved by the exhibition. Pictures of my past which were long forgotten are now present again. I'm very impressed with what the curators have brought together for this exhibition.
6. Various of people looking at the exhibition
7. SOUNDBITE (German) Stephan Kramer, Secretary General of the Central Council of Jews in Germany:
I think the exhibition is taking place at the right time because the various debates taking place right now, for example about the Sarrazin book (German Bundesbank board member Thilo Sarrazin's book Germany Abolishes Itself, which calls for restrictions on the number of Muslim immigrants) show how the lower middle class can be used and misled by pandering to their fears. This phenomenon is shown here at the exhibit as well. My only concern is that the wrong people will come and visit this exhibition, people who are already critical towards Hitler. I doubt that people who should see the exhibition will come, but we have to wait and see.
8. Various of Adolf Hitler busts
9. SOUNDBITE (German) Vox pop, Jetin Habstaat, Tourist from Norway:
This exhibition is a brilliant exhibition of contrasts. One can see the propaganda but also the opposition. It shows also the impact violence had. I think it is a very good exhibition.

STORYLINE:
An exhibition in Berlin exploring how Adolf Hitler won and held the mass support of Germans has been praised as moving and timely.
Hitler and the Germans - Nation and Crime opened to the public at the German Historical Museum on Friday.
The collection of some 600 exhibits, along with 400 photos and posters, takes visitors chronologically through the life of the Nazi regime.
It juxtaposes artefacts, such as Hitler busts and uniforms of Nazi organisations, with footage of events such as the book-burning that was an emblematic step in Hitler's seizure of power.
It also stresses the extent to which Nazi persecution of the Jews and others was conducted in full public view.
Several hundred people have already visited the exhibition and most were impressed with the work the curators had done.
Some older people were reminded of their past.
Hannelore, a visitor from Dortmund, said: At the exhibition were pictures of a little ten-year-old girl that could have been me. My entire past is now present again. I'm really moved by the exhibition.
Stephan Kramer, Secretary General of the Central Council of Jews in Germany, said the exhibition was taking place at the right time because of the various debates going on at the moment.
But Kramer added: My only concern is that the wrong people will come and visit this exhibition, people who are already critical towards Hitler. I doubt that people who should see the exhibition will come, but we have to wait and see.
The exhibition runs until February 6.

SUMMARY

Bosnia and Herzegovina ( ( listen) or ; abbreviated B&H; Bosnian and Serbian: Bosna i Hercegovina (BiH) / Боснa и Херцеговина (БиХ), Croatian: Bosna i Hercegovina (BiH), pronounced [bôsna i xěrtseɡoʋina]), sometimes called Bosnia–Herzegovina, and often known informally as Bosnia, is a country in Southeastern Europe in the Balkan Peninsula. Sarajevo is the capital and largest city.
Bosnia and Herzegovina is an almost landlocked country – it has a narrow coast at the Adriatic Sea, about 20 kilometres (12 miles) long surrounding the town of Neum. It is bordered by Croatia to the north, west and south, Serbia to the east, and Montenegro to the southeast. In the central and eastern interior of the country the geography is mountainous, in the northwest it is moderately hilly, and the northeast is predominantly flatland. The inland, Bosnia, is a geographically larger region and has a moderate continental climate, with hot summers and cold and snowy winters. The southern tip, Herzegovina, has a Mediterranean climate and plain topography.
Bosnia and Herzegovina traces permanent human settlement back to the Neolithic age, during and after which it was populated by several Illyrian and Celtic civilizations. Culturally, politically, and socially, the country has a rich history, having been first settled by the Slavic peoples that populate the area today from the 6th through to the 9th centuries. In the 12th century the Banate of Bosnia was established, which evolved into the Kingdom of Bosnia in the 14th century, after which it was annexed into the Ottoman Empire, under whose rule it remained from the mid-15th to the late 19th centuries. The Ottomans brought Islam to the region, and altered much of the cultural and social outlook of the country. This was followed by annexation into the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, which lasted up until World War I. In the interwar period, Bosnia and Herzegovina was part of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia and after World War II, it was granted full republic status in the newly formed Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. Following the dissolution of Yugoslavia, the republic proclaimed independence in 1992, which was followed by the Bosnian War, lasting until late 1995.
The country is one of the most frequently visited countries in the region, projected to have the third highest tourism growth rate in the world until 2020. Bosnia and Herzegovina is regionally and internationally renowned for its natural environment and cultural heritage inherited from six historical civilizations, its cuisine, winter sports, its eclectic and unique music, architecture and its festivals, some of which are the largest and most prominent of their kind in Southeastern Europe. The country is home to three main ethnic groups or, officially, constituent peoples, as specified in the constitution. Bosniaks are the largest group of the three, with Serbs second and Croats third. A native of Bosnia and Herzegovina, regardless of ethnicity, is usually identified in English as a Bosnian. Minorities, defined under the constitutional nomenclature Others, include Jews, Roma, Poles, Ukrainians and Turks. Bosnia and Herzegovina has a bicameral legislature and a three-member Presidency composed of a member of each major ethnic group. However, the central government's power is highly limited, as the country is largely decentralized and comprises two autonomous entities: the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Republika Srpska, with a third region, the Brčko District, governed under local government. The Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina is complex and consists of 10 cantons.
Bosnia and Herzegovina ranks highly in terms of human development, and has an economy dominated by the industry and agriculture sectors, followed by the tourism and service sectors. The country has a social security and universal healthcare system, and primary- and secondary-level education is tuition-free. It is a member of the UN, OSCE ...
