Murderous science: elimination by scientific selection of Jews, gypsies and others, Germany 1933-1945

Examines the process of objective perversion that undermined German scientific rationality to allow medical and scholarly support for genocide during the Nazi era. Muller-Hill utilized contemporary scientific reports and official documents in preparing this book along with interviews of personnel who had participated in some of the activities described. Clearly shows the moral degradation that occurred within such fields as genetics, anthropology and psychology as they embraced the National Socialist political philosophy of Aryan superiority. Includes an essay by Nobel Laureate James D. Watson in which he considers the impact Nazi-influenced eugenics has had on modern human genetics research in Germany
