Until today, human remains of victims of Colonialism are part of the collection of the anatomic institute of University of Cologne. They are impiously exhibited in glass cases in a (semi-) public context. This exhibition practice violates day to day, even after their death, the dignity of the people whose remains are exhibited at University of Cologne. Descendants of those people claim provenience research and restitution of the remains. Until today, there are no visible efforts of the university to comply the claims. The claims are actively ignored.
