About this audio guide
This guide to Swarovski Kristallwelten in Wattens, near Innsbruck, sits beside the crystal cut to mark the company's first hundred years, and turns to a different anniversary the family has been reluctant to mark: its record during the Nazi era. You will hear about Daniel Swarovski's sons, the historian the company hired to write the full account, and the fight between two historians over what that account should say. Best heard while looking straight at the case, not the gift shop behind you.
