Michele, There's a controversial exhibit in Berlin right now concerning the possible roles ordinary soldiers had in genicide during WWII. The title is "The Crimes of the Wehrmacht 1941-1944" and was first shown a couple years ago, but was closed due to factual errors. Now it's been revised and re-presented at the Kunst-Werke Institute for Contemporary Art in Germany and has garnered a lot of controversy, protests, and high visitorship. You can listen to an NPR segment about it at http://search.npr.org/cf/cmn/cmnpd01fm.cfm?PrgDate=12%2F9%2F2001&PrgID=6 Scroll down to "War Exhibit." I hope this is helpful in some way. Good luck.
