The German Historical Institute London would like to invite you to join us for a special event accompanying our current exhibition ‘Finding Ivy: A Life Worthy of Life’.
Between 1940 and 1941 around 70,000 adults with mental and physical disabilities were systematically murdered in Germany and Austria under a Nazi state-led programme called Aktion T4. They were deemed to be ‘life unworthy of life’. The exhibition ‘Finding Ivy: A Life Worthy of Life’ tells the stories of 13 British-born victims of this state-sponsored killing programme targeted at disabled people.
The event will feature an expert panel with Dr Helen Atherton (University of Leeds) and Dr Simon Jarrett (Open University), the curators of the exhibition, along with historian Dr Christopher Dillon (King’s College London). They will not only discuss the T4 programme but also shed light on the meticulous research that has unearthed these 13 life stories.
The panel discussion will be followed by a reception during which visitors will also have the chance to view the exhibition.
Please sign up via Eventbrite to get your free ticket:
There is also an option to join us via Zoom for the panel discussion:
We would appreciate it if you could share this invitation via your networks with colleagues and students who might be interested and very much hope to welcome you at the German Historical Institute London on this occasion.
With best wishes and many thanks
