Description
The experiments and associated forms of coerced research have stayed in public understanding as amongst the worst Nazi attrocities. For many years they were marginalised as "pseudo science" and were disconnected from mainstream German medical science and academia. This collection examines rationales and motivations of perpetratrors but also identities and responses of victims.
