Stanislaw Sterkowicz "Inhuman medicine - doctors in the service of Nazism".

Author: Stanisław Sterkowicz Title: Inhuman Medicine: Doctors in the Service of Nazism Publication Date: 2007 Genre: History of Medicine Description: Not even the most imaginative horror movie screenwriter could have conceived of such terrible suffering or so many cruel crimes. And yet all of this really happened. The crimes of Nazi medicine are such a repulsive episode in modern history that we instinctively push knowledge of them to the periphery of our consciousness. To this day, the world has unsuccessfully sought an answer to the fundamental question: why did the civilized and cultured German nation, living alongside others in the heart of Europe for over a dozen centuries, become so consumed by such frenzied brutality during those dozen or so years that it placed itself beyond the margins of humanity? It seems we will never understand why these terrible crimes occurred.
