Diabolical Experiments During The Holocaust

During the Holocaust, many innocent people were killed at the hands of the Nazis. Although this was a horrific event, some people suffered a fate even worse than death, medical experimentation. Most of the time, these medical experiments resulted in the death of the subject, but some lived. Even though they survived, they were almost always left in excruciating agony and most of the time disabled. The doctors who performed these experiments showed absolutely no mercy and tortured, mutilated, and murdered men, women, and children.

There were a whole lot of experiments there was Dr. Brandt Hitler's personal physician he would do experiments on the disabled and twins like Dr. Mengele also known as the angel of death. Another doctor would cut them and then rub wood or metal

There were many ways that the Nazi tortured the Jews during the Holocaust. They harmed them both mentally and physically, but the most horrific kind of torture was the physical abuse. The Nazis tortured, killed, and experimented on the Jews in an inhuman way. The experimentations that were conducted by the doctors were very horrendous and shocking. They had three categories for the experiments: military, biomedical, and racial/ideological. Though all the types of experimentations were terrible, the biomedical category was the most appalling. In the biomedical experimentations, the doctors did some cruel studies on the prisoners that included injecting diseases, inflicting wounds, and killing them to observe body functions. They were

During the Holocaust the Jews were tortured and kill. But were the benefits of science justified for the jewish. Nazi doctors conducted almost as many as 30 different types of experiments on prisoners that were in the concentration camps. You will also find out Hitler’s views on the experiments. And also why they did this.

There were many doctors used during the holocaust including Dr. Josef Mengele, Dr. Carl Clauberg, Dr. Herta Oberheuser, and Dr. Karl Brandit to be some of the main ones that performed horrific experiments. These doctors performed some of the most horrific experiments known to mankind. They did many experiments including freezing/hypothermia, genetics,

Holocaust: Medical Experiments During the Third Reich between 1933 through 1945, The Nazis not only stripped Jews and other minorities groups of their dignity and possessions but their humanity. The medical experiments that were conducted during the Holocaust were absurd and inhuman. Many Jews and minority groups suffered the wrath of the Nazis. Doctors performed unethical procedures that let many to their death.

     The second class of experiments involved medical research. Doctor’s would conduct medical experiments, which included the gas chamber and epidemic disease. Some victims were killed in gas chambers. This would allow better research to help develop ways of stopping such chemical attacks by the enemy or to help improve there way of killing there victims by showing them the effects of phosphorus and mustard gas burns. Doctors would also inject the victims with diseases such as malaria, smallpox, cholera and spotted fever. They would do so in order to observe the effectiveness of vaccines. Doctors would also break bones and flesh and then infect the wounds. They would also perform operations on the victims without administering anesthesia; all victims of these operations were killed during or shortly after.

At extermination camps, the Nazis conducted many medical experiments on the prisoners that resulted in many deaths. Between 1939 and 1945 medical research projects involving cruel and often lethal experimentation on human subjects were performed. These projects were supported, well-known organizations in the Third Reich and were categorized into three fields: research intended at cultivating the endurance and rescue of German troops, testing of medical techniques and medications, and experiments that pursued to approve Nazi cultural belief. More than seven thousand victims of these cruel medical experiments have been acknowledged. Targets of the experiments included Jews, Poles, Gypsies, Soviet prisoners of war, homosexuals, and Catholic priests (Medical Experiments ).

Holocaust Medical Experiments “Among all criminals and murderers, the most dangerous type is the criminal physician” (www.auschwitz.dk/doctors.htm). This statement, made by a prisoner in Auschwitz, was an opinion most likely supported by the majority of other prisoners in concentration camps. During the time period of the Holocaust, cruel medical experiments were performed on the prisoners in order to improve German medicine (Nazi Medical Experiments). The doctors who performed the experiments on the patients were responsible for the majority of the deaths (Medical Experiments of the Holocaust and Nazi Medicine).

I am going to be writing about all of the experiments performed during the holocaust. A few aspects I will be covering are: why the scientists did the experiments; who the scientists were; and what kind of experiments they were doing on the jews. A lot of the experiments were very cruel and inhumane.

The Holocaust in World War II is one the many cases of genocide. Millions of people were killed, or injured during the war. People were held in places called concentration camps. In the camps, people were dehumanized. They were treated like animals, and hurt. Sometimes they were even put through unethical treatments and medical experiments. Medical experiments are often talked about during times of war, as most of the time they are unethical, and a crime against humanity, as in the case of the experiments during the Holocaust. The medical experiments, and the trials that followed were the first trials for the crimes against humanity. The medical experiments of the Holocaust were a horrendous crime against humanity because they needlessly slaughtered

Some of the experiments involved changing eye color, changing sexuality with chemicals, etc. Two of the main targets for experimentation were kids and twins. “Kids over 12 were used for chemical experiments, those children were killed during reprisal operations or so-called anti-partisan operations” (Google.com/Holocaust facts.) Experiments helped some people, surprisingly. “LSD cured a Holocaust survivor of Aushwitz’s PTSD and allowed him to sleep for the first time in 30 years without nightmares” (Pinterest.com/wtffunfacts.) Some of the experiments were ominous and bizarre. The Nazis developed an experimental drug cocktail in which the Nazi doctors found that equipment laden test subjects who had taken the drug could march 55 miles without resting”

Thousands of Jews died unethically due to experiments that they were put under by the Nazis. These experiments were extremely unethical and the information found should not be used in the medical field today. Some may argue that it should be used because although it was basically torture, the information was already found. Others could also argue that they experiments were so extreme that it is useful information to be put into the medical field. Many people believe that we should use the information found during these experiments.

Prisoners were forced to participate in the experiments and, as a rule, the experiments resulted in death, disfigurement, loss of the reproductive ability or permanent disability. At Auschwitz and other camps, led by Dr. Eduard Wirths, selected inmates were subjected to various experiments that were designed to help German military personnel in combat situations, to develop new weapons and methods of treatment of German

Issues and Ethical Problems Nazi medical experimental data raise a question in its validity and the ethics in regard to using the data. A lot of researchers claim that the data was not claimed properly, also it shouldn’t be used because it remotes unethical medicine. One of the major issues of the Nazi’s research is the death of the test subjects.
