Guided tour through the "History lab: Where does injustice begin?" on 30.4.2024, 6 pm

What do you think of when you hear the word 'laboratory'? Perhaps people in white coats waving glass flasks with steaming liquids? You won't find them in the mobile history laboratory of the Lernort Kislau e.V..

True to the motto 'Understanding history - experiencing democracy', you can also question supposed truths and put theories to the test in this laboratory. Only instead of physics or chemistry, it's about history and the present.

THIS IS WHAT IT'S ABOUT:
More than 1,500 men were held in the Kislau concentration camp near Bruchsal between 1933 and 1939 - including many active opponents of the Nazis. As an early camp, Kislau marked the transition from the Weimar Republic to the National Socialist terror regime. Based on the history of the Kislau concentration camp, users of the laboratory can explore and investigate the differences between right and wrong and between democracy and dictatorship.

But there is also a look at the present day: At each of the eight double stations of the history lab, the focus is on a historical topic and its relationship to the present. Almost all of the stations are interactive: Flaps, sliders and rotating elements invite visitors to discover content, exchange ideas and take a stand on value issues. The 'lab booklet' offers further information and suggestions. It can be used as accompanying material and for follow-up.
