Display of atrocities involved in "euthanasia" transgressions

In the heart of Marburg, the Catholic Meeting House KA.RE. is set to host an important exhibition, "Persecution of Disabled People in National Socialism." This exhibition, a loan from the Memorial and Information Site Tiergartenstraße 4 in Berlin, sheds light on a dark chapter of history.

The exhibition, which runs from August 22 to October 30, has a unique Marburg touch. Local history of persecution has been collected by the working group "Image of Disabled People Yesterday and Today" within the "Marburg Network for Democracy and against Right-wing Extremism." At least 333 Marburg "euthanasia" victims are remembered with the installation "Stones against Forgetting."

The vernissage (opening ceremony) of the exhibition is on Friday, August 22, at 7 PM, and admission is free. Oberbuergermeister Dr. Thomas Spies will give a welcoming speech, and singer Latoya Reitzner will provide musical accompaniment.

The exhibition documents the background, prerequisites, and implementation of patient murders in National Socialism. It also includes biographical sketches of victims, connecting the individual stations and themes. The exhibition has been designed with barrier-free access, including Easy-to-Read and Simple Language texts, German Sign Language summaries, and audio descriptions for people with visual impairments.

The installation was created with the support of the Lebenshilfe Marburg-Biedenkopf e.V. association. The exhibition is managed by the Berlin Foundation Topography of Terror.

For those interested in a guided tour, simply send an email to [email protected]. The framework program of the exhibition includes lectures, discussion rounds, film screenings, and a "Peer Tour" for young people.
