The exhibition “Fostered. Locked away. Forgotten? The history and stories of compulsory social measures in Switzerland” offers a multifaceted and at the same time forensic approach to this chapter of Swiss history, which has had a profound impact on the lives of many people.
It opens spaces for reflection and offers a number of different access points for engaging with the topic. You will hear the personal life stories of those affected and gain an understanding of the long process of political reappraisal. You will learn how compulsory social measures came to be taken and what consequences these measures still have today. And you will be invited to ask yourself the question: is it possible to make amends for past injustices? And what can we do to prevent history from repeating itself?
This exhibition contains content that may be disturbing for visitors. These include themes such as violence, discrimination and human suffering. A visit is recommended for children aged 12 and over.
The exhibition is part of the “remembering for tomorrow” programme.
