Recognizing the Past in the Present
Following decades of silence about the involvement of doctors, medical researchers and other health professionals in the Holocaust and other National Socialist (Nazi) crimes, scholars in recent years have produced a growing body of research that reveals the pervasive extent of that complicity. This interdisciplinary collection of studies presents documentation of the critical role medicine played in realizing the policies of Hitler’s regime. It traces the history of Nazi medicine from its roots in the racial theories of the 1920s, through its manifestations during the Nazi period, on to legacies and continuities from the postwar years to the present.
The Anatomy of Murder
Of the many medical specializations to transform themselves during the rise of National Socialism, anatomy has received relatively little attention from historians. While politics and racial laws drove many anatomists from the profession, most who remained joined the Nazi party, and some helped to develop the scientific basis for its racialist dogma. As historian and anatomist Sabine Hildebrandt reveals, however, their complicity with the Nazi state went beyond the merely ideological. They progressed through gradual stages of ethical transgression, turning increasingly to victims of the regime for body procurement, as the traditional model of working with bodies of the deceased gave way, in some cases, to a new paradigm of experimentation with the “future dead.”
A New Field in Mind
In recent decades, developments in research technologies and therapeutic advances have generated immense public recognition for neuroscience. However, its origins as a field, often linked to partnerships and projects at various brain-focused research centres in the United States during the 1960s, can be traced much further back in time. In A New Field in Mind Frank Stahnisch documents and analyzes the antecedents of the modern neurosciences as an interdisciplinary field. Although postwar American research centres, such as Francis O. Schmitt's Neuroscience Research Program at MIT, brought the modern field to prominence, Stahnisch reveals the pioneering collaborations in the early brain scienc...

Silence, Scapegoats, Self-reflection
Since the end of World War II, Nazi medical atrocities have been a topic of ambivalent reactions and debates, both in Germany and internationally: An early period of silence was followed by attempts of victims and representatives of medical organisations to describe what happened. Varying narratives developed, some of which had a stabilizing function for the identity of the profession, whereas others had a critical and de-stabilizing function. In today's international debates in the field of medical ethics, there are frequent references to Nazi medical atrocities, in particular in the context of discussions about research on human subjects, and on euthanasia. The volume analyses the narratives on Nazi medical atrocities, their historicity in different stages of post-war medicine, as well as in the international discourse on biomedical ethics.
Die nationalsozialistische "Euthanasie"-Aktion "T4" und ihre Opfer
Der vorliegende Band geht auf ein ein internationales Kolloquium in Heidelberg zurück, das 2006 Ergebnisse eines Projektes vorstellte, das die verschollen geglaubten psychiatrischen Krankenakten der Opfer der 'Aktion T4', der zentral organisierten Phase der Krankenmorde, erstmals systematisch untersucht. Zudem wurde der gegenwärtige Forschungsstand zu dieser ersten großen Massenvernichtungsaktion des NS-Regimes zusammengetragen.

Tödliche Medizin
Begleitbuch zur Ausstellung "Tödliche Medizin" im Jüdischen Museum Berlin (März - Juli 2009). Über 200.000 behinderte und psychisch kranke Menschen wurden von 1933 bis 1945 in Deutschland ermordet, 400.000 Männer und Frauen zwangs sterilisiert, zahllose Patienten für medizinische Versuche missbraucht und getötet. Beginnend mit einem Essay zur Rassenhygiene als Leitwissenschaft des NS-Regimes,befasst sich das Begleitbuch mit der Zwangssterilisation, den "Kinderfachabteilungen", der "Aktion T4" - dem massenhaften Krankenmord, der als Vorlauf für den Genozid an den europäischen Juden gilt - sowie mit dem dezentralen Krankenmord im späten Verlauf des Krieges. Anhand erst jüngst aufgef...
