NEW YORK MEDICAL COLLEGE HOSTS EXHIBIT ON "CREATING THE MASTER RACE" The Health Sciences Library at New York Medical College invites to you view Deadly Medicine: Creating the Master Race. The following announcement was shared with us by the Health Sciences Library, which is providing essential support for this exhibit: Deadly Medicine: Creating the Master Race July 15 through September 3, 2014 New York Medical College Valhalla, New York This exhibition is open for a limited time. Don't miss your chance to see it! >From 1933 to 1945, Nazi Germany carried out a campaign to “cleanse” German >society of people viewed as biological threats to the nation’s “health.” >Enlisting the help of physicians and medically trained geneticists, >psychiatrists, and anthropologists, the Nazis developed racial health policies >that started with the mass sterilization of “hereditarily diseased” persons >and ended with the near annihilation of European Jewry. Deadly Medicine: Creating the Master Race traces this history from the early 20th-century international eugenics movement to the Nazi regime’s “science of race.” It also challenges viewers to reflect on the present-day interest in genetic manipulation that promotes the possibility of human perfection. * Read more about this exhibition<http://act.ushmm.org/page/m/-4bc01107/3efcb0bf/-2ef68238/359ab52f/793787327/VEsA/> * View the interactive version<http://act.ushmm.org/page/m/-4bc01107/3efcb0bf/-2ef68238/359ab512/793787327/VEsB/> of the exhibition * See directions to the New York Medical College<http://act.ushmm.org/page/m/-4bc01107/3efcb0bf/-2ef68238/359ab519/793787327/VEsO/> * Check out other US Holocaust Memorial Museum traveling exhibitions<http://act.ushmm.org/page/m/-4bc01107/3efcb0bf/-2ef68238/359ab51c/793787327/VEsP/> Exhibit hours: Sundays – Wednesdays 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Thursdays 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Exhibit location: New York Medical College 19 Skyline Drive Ground floor Hawthorne, NY 10532 Admission and parking are free and open to the public To schedule a private group tour contact us at (914) 594-4200.
