摘要

Background

Human remains in historical collections pose a particular challenge when dealing with contexts of injustice.

Materials and methods

This paper examines a historical specimen from the Jena Forensic Medicine collection in the context of injustice in the German Democratic Republic (GDR), where a suitable burial solution was ultimately found.

Result

Fetus and mother were reunited in the same cemetery, 61 years after the mother’s death.

Conclusion

New, ideally individualized, forms of burial are needed, especially for historical collection specimens.
