"Deadly Medicine: Creating the Master Race" at The Sherwin Miller Museum of Jewish Art

Aired on Monday, February 5th.

On this edition of ST Medical Monday, we learn about "Deadly Medicine: Creating the Master Race," an exhibition that will be on view at The Sherwin Miller Museum of Jewish Art here in Tulsa through March 4th. As noted at the Sherwin Miller website, this traveling exhibit, presented by the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, "traces this history from the early 20th-century international eugenics movement to the Nazi regime's 'science of race.' It also challenges viewers to reflect on the present-day interest in genetic manipulation that promotes the possibility of human perfection." Our guest is Jesse Ulrich, the newly-appointed Director of Holocaust Education at The Sherwin Miller Museum, who grew up in the Tulsa area and only recently moved back here after several years in Boston.

Rich Fisher passed through KWGS about thirty years ago, and just never left. Today, he is the general manager of Public Radio Tulsa, and the host of KWGS’s public affairs program, StudioTulsa, which celebrated its twentieth anniversary in August 2012 . As host of StudioTulsa, Rich has conducted roughly four thousand long-form interviews with local, national, and international figures in the arts, humanities, sciences, and government. Very few interviews have gone smoothly. Despite this, he has been honored for his work by several organizations including the Governor's Arts Award for Media by the State Arts Council, a Harwelden Award from the Arts & Humanities Council of Tulsa, and was named one of the “99 Great Things About Oklahoma” in 2000 by Oklahoma Today magazine.
