The Nuremberg Of Trial ( 1946 )

During World War II, Nazi doctors did many types of experiments on the Jews at concentration camps. The German doctors performed experiments without permission in which the Jews suffered emotionally, physically, and many died. Eventually, the doctors who performed these experiments were prosecuted; however, many Jews suffered and died due to the type of experiments being conducted on them (Tyson).

Adolf Hitler organized the most inhumane killing operation that the world has ever seen. Adolf Hitler, the Final Solution, and eventually the Nuremberg Trials together make up three of the most important aspects of the Holocaust. Before Hitler became the dictator of Germany, he obtained his anti-semitism from his political teachers. Afterwards, he used his knowledge and hatred to attempt to exterminate all Jewry from Germany. This process was known as the Final Solution. The Final Solution was Hitler’s attempt at exterminating the Jewish population in Europe. He was so dedicated to this task that it surmounted winning the war itself. Finally, the main opposition of the legitimacy of the Holocaust comes from neo nazis who believe that

A brief look at the Nuremberg Trials and some of the people involved. It steps upon the problems leading to the start of the trials including three of the doctors, three of the experiments performed on prisoners, and the judgment of three people involved with carrying out the vulgar experiments. Also included are three people who decided to commit suicide instead of facing certain death after going before a jury. The three people who committed suicide were also three of the biggest people involved in building the Nazi party in Germany and its surrounding areas.

The learner was to be the one being observed by Milgram, which was taken into a room and had electrodes attached to his arm. The teacher in another room close by had a row of electrical switches controlling the electrodes placed on the learner. This experiment was to help Milgram understand the extremities people would take in obeying an instruction if it involved harming another person (Brannigan, 2013). Deception and the debriefing for the participants left with emotional trauma, thinking they had dramatically thinking they hurt someone. The left the premises thinking they really almost hurt or killed the other person and deception of the fact hey were shocking a real

Obedience to authority is ingrained in us all from the way we are brought up. It raised many ethical issues, the first being deception. The participants of the experiment genuinely believed they were shocking a real person and were unaware the learner was a colleague of Milgram’s. However, in Milgram’s defence, he argues that illusion was necessary in order to “set the stage for the revelation of certain difficult-to-get-at-truths.” He interviews participants after the experiment, 83.7% stated they were glad to be in the experiment, and 1.3% said they wished they had not been

The main idea behind the Nuremberg Trials following World War II was to set an international precedent for how war crimes should be persecuted following wartimes. Part of the motivation for the Nuremberg Trials was in the way the Germans were treated after World War I. Harsh sanctions were imposed on Germany and huge debts were accumulated – this inevitably crippled the German economy and bred unrest. During a period of time when anti-allied sentiments were high it was easy for a charismatic Hitler to gain power and lead the Germans to WWII. With the hopes of finding a way to punish those directly responsible for the war, rather than the whole nation, the United States, United Kingdom, France, and Russia joined together to create an international

From 1958 through 1961 a mild barbiturate wreaked havoc for expectant mothers and their fetuses. The drug was originally marketed in Europe, by a pharmaceutical company named Grunenthal. The, unknown at the time teratogen or placenta passing, drug is called Thalidomide. Its popularity grew quickly because it is nonlethal, even in overdose, and a deadly quantity has yet to be found. Thalidomide is still used today, despite the extraordinary suffering, it has caused. Alas, Thalidomide was prescribed to pregnant women to help them through pregnancy symptoms, caused thousands of infants to be born with terrible deformities and deficient in countless areas, and has made a life of struggles for the children of Thalidomide.

The results discovered in psychological experiments such as Milgram’s outweigh the negativity of the responses from test subjects. Milgram’s results brought a deeper insight to humans and their interactions with authority and provided a possible explanation to the Nazis’ responses in the Nuremberg trials. Psychological sciences simply cannot advance if consent forms become restrictive to the point that everything is revealed to the student before the experiment has started. Specifically, informing teachers that they were not administering real electric shocks to the learner would make the teachers not take the experiment seriously and/or provide disingenuous reactions to the learner’s cries of pain.

One of the most significant events in research history involved human participants was the Nuremberg Code on December 9, 1946. American military opened criminal proceedings against several leading German physicians for their willing participation in crimes against humanity. German Physicians were charged for conducting medical experiments on thousands of concentration camp prisoners without their consent; in most of which the participants as a result either died or were permanently damaged physically. In conclusion of the trial, in 1948 the Nuremberg Code was established, making it known that participants should give consent.

“Laws control the lesser man… Right conduct controls the greater one (Plato).” World War II was the deadliest conflict in world history, on and off the battlefield. The genocide performed by Nazi Germany was something that had never been seen before, and shocked mankind across the world. This atrocious behavior punished those for what they believed in, in the most inhumane ways possible. The trials that followed, which made those who participated in this behavior answer for their actions, were some of the most historic trials in legal history, not just because of what was being judged, but also because of the viewpoints that came about because of them. The Nuremberg Trials, which occurred in Germany, were viewed across the world with opposing

The use of Thalidomide by pregnant women caused their babies to develop severe abnormalities. These babies were born with characteristic limb defects and 40% of them died within a year of

World war two the war that cost thousands of people their lives. Why weren’t the Nazi soldiers held accountable for what they did? Well they were that is what we call the Nuremberg trials. What was Nuremberg trials?

One of the darkest times in world history is World War 2. Where the Nazi German Party and Adolf Hitler planned and executed the extermination of the Jewish, Gypsy and Homosexual race. With the help of the Allied powers, the United States, Great Britain, France and the USSR, we were able to put a stop to Hitler’s regime and put an end to the mass genocide created by him. Now this deed did not go unpunished. After the war ended with the suicide of Adolf Hitler, the 24 high ranking officers of the Nazi Party that were still alive and some 200 other members were to stand trial for their actions. These trials that they were put under are known today as the Nuremberg Trials.

Today animal test subjects such as white rats are used in experiments such as drug testing to make sure it is safe for humans and as a result some animals die. Most scientists live by certain moral most of which are humane unlike Nazi scientists. In their eyes, the perfect test subjects to use were humans, mostly concentration camp inmates. Leading and foremost Nazi doctors were caught and brought to justice before the International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg after the end of World War II. The trail exposed evidence of inhumane and immoral human experiments performed at the Buchenwald, Auschwitz, Sachsenhausen, and Dachau concentration camps. Twenty Nazi doctors were charged with war crimes and crimes against humanity. Ever

The history of international trials is largely limited to the Nuremberg Tribunals and the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia. However, these limited historical precedents, with an imperfect body of jurisprudence from which to draw, afford one objective: the search for justice. This justice, however, is victim to the political will that drives trials (Goldstone, quoted in “Historical Evolution – From Nuremberg to the International Criminal Court”). Thus, although justice is usually the preeminent focus for a post-conflict society, it is also the most difficult to attain (Hayner, 8). From a different perspective, one may see the most significant limitation of international trials to be their subordination to international political will.
