Licht und Dunkel
Evening at Steinhof


Evening Mood
Entrance to a pavilion
Steinhof Clinic Compound


Entry Hall of Pavilion V
Exhibition "The War Against the Inferior"


"Starting out from the occurrences at the Steinhof clinic compound,
the exhibition in Pavilion V of the Otto Wagner-Spital in Vienna –
which is made available in its entirety on this website –
offers a comprehensive overview of the circumstances
and consequences of Nazi medical crimes in Vienna."
* Quoted from the link below


Am Spiegelgrund Memorial
Each stake of light commemorates a young victim
of the Nazi Regime's "Children's Euthanasia Program"

    This is chilling and you've done well to use the metaphor of light and darkness in the Nazi contest. Good work!

      Thank you! The moment I saw this month's theme, I knew I had to share the darkness of this beautiful place. I had to.

    such lovely light and such a contrast to the dark thoughts that must be felt looking at that wonderful memorial

    Thanks for the light, the simplicity of fact and a sense of new generation in these pictures. After reading in full the long link to the Speigelgrund, the pictures provide poignant reflection.
    Last year in the Main Cemetary I noticed the memorial section, relatively new, and knew nothing about the name. Thanks for this Light.
