The third Vienna exhibition Path of Remembrance III. Remembrance of Maly Trascianec  already reveals its content in the name. The students Nils Braune, Katharina Burger, Franziska Schappacher, Antonia Titze, Pia Maria Ebner, Bastian Kammerer, Florian Sprenger, Romy Stumpe, Marlene Berger, Verena Radner, Sophie Charlotte Wenkel, Florian Christoph Hladky, Paul Kathrein, Jana Viktorija Sobek and Astrid Wenz divided their exhibition into four parts: in the first part, they deal critically with the so-called "Seiler Report". For the second part of the exhibition, students from the University of Vienna conducted interviews with the descendants of victims. The third section of the exhibition is dedicated to post-war justice in relation to the crimes of Maly Trascianec, before the last section deals with the culture of remembrance (in Austria and elsewhere) in relation to Maly Trascianec.

In the exhibition Maly Trascjanec: Transformations of an Extermination Site, the Osnabrück students Peter Kamp, Tatjana Rykov, Rukia Soubbotina and Charlotte Vöhl take an analytical look at the transformation processes of the place and its surroundings over time. In the two time periods from 1941 to 1944 and 1944 to the present day, the students were able to determine and decipher numerous layers of the terrain's transformation. The overall picture results in a comprehensive explanation of the current appearance of Maly Trascianec.

In the exhibition Maly Trascjanec: The Culture of Remembrance, the Osnabrück students Michelle Ostermaier, Kristin Waßmann and Ron Wilke deal with questions of the culture of remembrance and presence of the place and the deeds committed there. They precisely trace the various phases of the Soviet and post-Soviet period as well as the growing interest in making the site of violence visible and also make it explicitly clear which processes were necessary to create the memorial site with its various forms in its current form.

For their exhibition Maly Trascjanec: The Perpetrators, the Osnabrück students Nils Kaschubat, Johanna Schweppe, Paulin Wandschneider and Frank Wobig researched hundreds of pages of source material from post-war trial files in which the perpetrators of the murders in Maly Trascjanec were tried. Based on the biographies and descriptions of the trial origins and outcomes, they provide a picture of the milieus and background contexts from which the men came and critically question how "normal" their lives were.
