Tuberkulose und Menschenversuche im Nationalsozialismus: Das Netzwerk hinter den Tbc-Experimenten im Konzentrationslager Sachsenhausen (Geschichte Und ... and Philosophy of Medicine)

by Christine Wolters

In the first half of the 20th century, tuberculosis was perceived as the greatest threat to people's health. During the National Socialist period, the sick were increasingly stigmatized and pressured into undergoing questionable forms of treatment. Those suffering from tuberculosis were forcibly committed to psychiatric institutions, while the SS organized large-scale experiments on human subjects in several concentration camps. In the present study, Christine Wolters examines the human experiments conducted in Sachsenhausen concentration camp - the story behind them, the network of perpetrators and their biographies.
