­"In memory of the children": Exhibition now on display this weekend and beyond

Around 2,500 visitors have already viewed the "In Memory of the Children" exhibition on the involvement of pediatricians in Nazi crimes at the Dreikönigskirche in Dresden.

There are now additional openings on individual weekends.
This weekend, May 17 and 18, from 9 am to 5 pm.
Further dates are June 14, 9 am to 5 pm and June 21, 9 am to 6 pm.

The exhibition of the German Society for Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine can be seen in Dresden until July 3. Using 24 panels, it traces the path from eugenic thinking in the 1920s to the organized killing of minors between 1939 and 1945 and uses specific locations to shed light on the individual fates of disabled children and Jewish paediatricians.

The Institute of History of Medicine at TU Dresden brought the exhibition to Dresden and added four additional panels with local references to the role of Dresdeners and the children's clinic at Dresden-Johannstadt City Hospital during the Nazi era.

Location: Dreikönigskirche Dresden, Hauptstraße 23, 01097 Dresden

The exhibition is open from April 30 to July 3, Monday to Friday from 10 am to 6 pm. Access is barrier-free. Admission is free.
