Quarantined in a TB sanatorium

BBC World Service - The History Hour, Quarantined in a TB sanatorium

Quarantined in a TB sanatorium; looted Nazi art works and the Rolling Stones in the dock

The TB children in the 1950s isolated for years in a sanatorium; looted Nazi art works, the Rolling Stones in the dock, and dangerous skin-lightening products in South Africa

Extreme lockdown half a century ago: the TB children forced to endure years of isolation in a sanatorium; the unveiling of looted Nazi art works, the Rolling Stones in the dock, calls for democracy in 1990s Nepal, and the campaign to ban dangerous skin-lightening products in South Africa.
