It was scholarship in Ukraine that first provided renewed visibility and access to Wienerberger’s work. Historian Vasyl Marochko, Director of the Center for Genocide Research (at the time within the Ukrainian National Institute of History), was attending a conference in Vienna in the early 2000s when he was given copies of the Wienerberger album photographs by Prelate Ostheim-Dzerowicz’s sister, Maria Dzerowicz.43
In 2003, a group of scholars under Marochko’s direction produced the monumental study Голод 1932–1933 років в Україні: причини та наслідки (1932-1933. [Famine in Ukraine: Causes and Consequences],44 which included those photos, attributed to Wienerberger, among other photographs. Shortly thereafter, Ukraine’s Central State CinePhotoPhono Archives (TsDKFFA) added to its website thumbnail images of the Innitzer album photos obtained by Professor Marochko.44 Other publications and websites in Ukraine of that decade displayed many of the Wienerberger photos as well.
