Event Description

Deadly Medicine: Creating the Master Race is a traveling exhibition produced by the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. Through reproductions of photographs and document, films, and survivor testimony, it traces how the persecution of groups deemed biologically inferior led to the near annihilation of European Jewry. It also challenges viewers to reflect on the present-day interest in genetic manipulation that promotes the possibility of human perfection.

The Grout Museum has partnered with the University of Northern Iowa Center for the Holocaust and Genocide Education to bring this exhibit to the Cedar Valley.
