Deadly Medicine: Creating the Master Race

This thought-provoking exhibit explores how the concept of “racial hygiene,” or “eugenics” began to direct public policy in Germany, ultimately leading to the efforts by Hitler’s Nazi regime to change the genetic make-up of the population. The exhibit also examines the role that scientists in the biomedical field played in legitimizing and implementing these policies. Viewer discretion advised, this exhibit contains material that may be disturbing to some viewers.
