"Deadly Medicine, Creating the Master
Race"
For this traveling exhibit, Proto engineered and fabricated
a custom modular panel and case system. It inter-connected
quickly and easily. Step by step drawings and illustrations
guided the staff at each venue for their install. Graphic
reproductions and integral audio-visual programs emphasized
how the Nazi Regime aimed to change the genetic make-up
of the population through measures known as 'racial Hygiene'.
Artifact cases were fabricated to house documents and books
which explore the science of genetics and eugenics, and
their roles in selective genocide by the German medical
and scientific communities from the early 20th century
through the fall of the Nazi regime. Proto fabricated a
custom made Soft-pac system used to reduce the weight,
volume in the trucks, and amount of storage space needed
at the venues for this 4,000 square foot traveling exhibition.
