“Unpublished diplomas”: Exhibition at the university commemorates students killed in Ukraine

The “Unissued Diploma” exhibition is on display in the Tübingen University Library until 29 May. It tells the life stories of 40 Ukrainian students who lost their lives in the war. The exhibition is located in the foyer of the main building of the University Library (Wilhelmstraße 32) on the first floor and can be visited during the library’s opening hours: weekdays from 8 am to midnight, and at weekends from 10 am to 10 pm. Admission is free. The “Unissued Diplomas” project was founded in 2023 and has already organised 110 exhibitions in 24 countries.
The organisers of the exhibition in Tübingen include the volunteer project SonnenBlau, which delivers medical and humanitarian goods to Ukraine, the Ukrainian community in Tübingen, the University Library, the University’s Slavic Seminar and the Institute for Eastern European and Regional Studies. The exhibition is intended to remind the world that the war in Ukraine is still going on and what price the people of Ukraine pay every day for their freedom.
“They spent their days on campus, in libraries and university buildings. They had favourite subjects and subjects they would rather not study. Their greatest fear was not passing the semester,” says the project’s website about the exhibition. It continues: “On 24 February 2022, Ukrainian students were confronted with a completely different reality. University classrooms were transformed into bomb shelters and battlefields. Fear was replaced by courage. Some of them will never receive their diplomas because Russia took their lives in an attempt to take away Ukraine’s freedom.”
The project website is available in 5 languages:
