The exhibit arrived at USD on Friday, Oct. 19, from its previous location at the National WWII Museum in New Orleans. “It was in a big trailer, and it took us about two hours to unload,” Loftus said. The trailer was filled with approximately 70 containers that contained the various components of the exhibit – all of which took about 12 to 16 hours to install. “It’s very wonderful the way they’ve invested in beautiful materials to install these things,” Loftus said. “I’m really impressed with the Holocaust museum’s curriculum tools that they have on their Web site, too. … “We didn’t have to do anything from scratch,” she said. “They are very wellresearched, and they’ve very supportive of all levels of interest.” “Deadly Medicine” already has attracted a fair amount of interest since it was put on display Oct. 25. “One of the staff members that works in the archives has come down to photograph this in the past couple of days, and every time that we’re down here we see people walking around,” she said. A number of area schools and other groups have made plans to visit, as well. “We’ve got lots and lots of interest,” Loftus said.
