by Alexander Mitscherlich
On This Page
Description
With 16 pages of photographsOne of the most shocking aspects of the Nazi treatment of their prisoners was the wanton cruelty of the doctors assigned to the concentration camps that were dotted throughout occupied Europe. In an ironic perversion of their Hippocratic oath doctors, such as the infamous Mangele, carried out horrendous experiments on their captive victims in the name of science. As part of the Nuremberg trials the Nazi medical establishment was called to account for these crimes show more against humanity. Alexander Mitscherlich was the doctor assigned to carry out a full investigation into the crimes across all of Europe; in his report embodied in this book, reported on the awful scale and complicity of the Nazis. The terrible details have to be read to be believed in this shocking book. show lessTags

„Der Nürnberger Ärzteprozeß und seine Quellen / Die hier veröffentlichten Dokumente geben einen Einblick in die sachlichen Grundlagen des Verfahrens. Korrespondenzen, Übersichten der Geheimforschungen und Augenzeugenberichte machen deutlich, welche wissenschaftlichen Absichten verfolgt, welcher Stil im Umgang mit Menschen gepflogen und welche eugenischen und rassenpolitischen Endziele angestrebt wurden. Insgesamt zeigt sich, wie Menschlichkeit und ärztliche Souveränität untergehen, wenn eine Wissenschaft im Menschen nur noch das Objekt sieht und ihn als solches behandelt.“ (Klappentext)
