The one thing that really intrigues me about the Holocaust and other horrific events throughout history is, how people justify killing and torturing fellow human beings. It will take an awful lot before I would hurt another human being, only when I would be physically threatened would I resort to physical defence. The Nazis didn’t…

The eradication of a group of people is a definition of genocide. The high rate of pregnancy terminations following a Down syndrome diagnosis in Iceland has been a subject of significant international attention and bioethical debate. The core data on prenatal screening and elective termination in Iceland reflects a highly consistent statistical pattern: The Core…

When we think of the Holocaust and the Nazi camp system, names like Auschwitz or Dachau immediately come to mind. But to truly understand how the machinery of the Third Reich was built, we have to look at a lesser-known but historically pivotal site: Oranienburg concentration camp.

On 7 July 1942, Heinrich Himmler, in cooperation with three others, including a physician, inaugurated experimenting on women in Auschwitz and investigated extending this experimentation on men. Himmler convened a conference in Berlin to discuss the prospects for using concentration camp prisoners as objects of medical experiments. The other attendees were the head of the…
