“It’s often surprising how limited the knowledge about the Nazis’ medical crimes is in today’s medical community, maybe with the exception of Josef Mengele’s experiments in Auschwitz,” said Herwig Czech of the Medical University of Vienna in Austria.
That’s why Czech and his colleagues suggested establishing a new commission to the editor-in-chief of renowned medical journal The Lancet three years ago.
They planned to raise awareness of the Nazis’ medical crimes and enable today’s medical professionals to draw conclusions for the future.
