Papers by six historians on the participation of German physicians in medical experiments on innocent people. They address the critical issues raised by these murderous practices, such as the place of the Holocaust in the larger context of eugenic and racial research, the motivation and roles of the German medical establishment and the impact and legacy of the eugenics movements and Nazi medical practice on physicians and medicine since World War II.
