An exhibition on war and human rights in Babenhausen

A special exhibition took place in September at the Offene Schule Babenhausen. That the exhibition "War and Human Rights" was shown in Babenhausen is due to the Volksbund Deutscher Kriegsgräberfürsorge. Among other things, it serves to prepare the visit of 80 students of the tenth grade to the Niederbonn military cemetery and the Natzweiler-Struthof concentration camp memorial site in October 2019. The exhibition also gave the students an opportunity to deal with these aspects of the culture of remembrance that cannot be part of the trip.

The exhibition informed among other things about the Geneva Conventions of 1929 / 1949 and the international law of war but also about the war crimes of the Wehrmacht in the Second World War, the treatment of prisoners of war and civilians as well as the handling of war dead and war graves as public places of remembrance.
