It has been praised for its artistry and accurate detail but has attracted controversy due to Pernkopf's Nazi connections and the findings of the 1998 commission at the University of Vienna that some of the illustrations were based on executed victims of political terror. It remains unproven however that any illustrations were based on Jewish victims or prisoners or war.
