A history of science and injustice | Guided tour of the exhibition at the Ihnestraße Memorial

Guided tour of the permanent exhibition exploring the history of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Anthropology, Human Heredity and Eugenics at its historical site. The building is now home to the Otto Suhr Institute for Political Science at Freie Universität Berlin.

With this permanent exhibition, Freie Universität Berlin commemorates the history of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Anthropology, Human Heredity and Eugenics, in whose former building the university’s Otto Suhr Institute for Political Science is now located.

The exhibition documents the racist and dehumanising research of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute, whose staff were already devising selection measures during the Weimar Republic. From 1933 onwards, the Institute legitimised the Nazis’ policies of persecution and extermination, and conducted unethical research of its own.

The exhibition also commemorates the victims of these medical atrocities, committed by a science stripped of all ethical restraints, and underscores that scientific inquiry is always shaped by social and political contexts to which researchers must respond.

An event organised by the Max Planck Society in cooperation with Freie Universität Berlin / Otto Suhr Institute for Political Science.
