Abstract:
States that, amongst professional groups, the medical profession in Germany had the highest proportion of membership in the Nazi Party - 45%. Physicians also held non-medical positions in the Nazi hierarchy. Discusses the mass sterilization program initiated by the Nazis in 1933, the "euthanasia" program, and the medicalized killing operation "Aktion 14f13" in the concentration camps. Refers to recent studies, concluding that the subject should be required for all students of medicine and medical ethics today.
