Sterilization experiment

Image
From March 1941 to January 1945, sterilization experiments were conducted at Auschwitz, Ravensbrück, and elsewhere by Dr. Carl Clauberg.The purpose was to develop a method of sterilization against millions of people with minimal time and effort. Thousands of victims were sterilized by means of X-rays, surgery and various drugs. The Nazi government attacked some 400,000 subjects as part of its forced sterilization program. Intravenous injections of solutions that were speculated to contain iodine and silver nitrate were successful, but had unwanted side effects, such as vaginal bleeding, severe abdominal pain, and cervical cancer. Thus, radiation treatment became the preferred choice of patients. sterilization. Specific amounts of radiation exposure destroyed a person's ability to produce eggs or sperm. The radiation was administered by means of deception. The prisoners were taken to a room and asked to fill out forms, which took two or three minutes. At this time, radiation was adm...

Freezing experiments

 In 1941, Mengele conducted experiments to find out how to treat hypothermia. One study forced subjects to hold out in a tank of ice water for up to three hours. In another case, he placed the naked prisoners in the open in freezing temperatures for several hours. In addition to studying its physical effects, the experimenters calculated different ways to rewarm the survivors. The hypothermia experiments were carried out to simulate the conditions suffered by the armies on the Eastern Front, when the German forces were ill-prepared for the freezing cold. These experiments were carried out under the supervision of the Dachau and Auschwitz commanders. The SS physician, Sigmund Rascher, reported directly to Heinrich Himmler and published the results of his freezing experiments in the conference "Medical problems arising from the sea and winter" (1942). The freezing experiments were divided into two. The first was to establish how long it would take to drop the body temperature u...

Head injury experiments

 In the summer of 1942, in Baranovichi (present-day Belarus), experiments were conducted in a small building behind the house occupied by Nazi Sicherheitsdienst officer Dr. Wichtmann. In one of them, an eleven or twelve year old boy was tied to a chair so that he could not move. Above him, a mechanical hammer was suspended that every few seconds fell on his head. fuente: wikipedia

Twin Experiments

Image
 Experiments with twin boys in concentration camps sought to show similarities and differences in the genetics and eugenics of twins, as well as to see if the human body can be manipulated in unnatural ways. The leader of these experiments was Josef Mengele, who conducted experiments on more than 1500 pairs of imprisoned twins, of which only about 200 survived.While attending the University of Munich (in the city that remained one of Adolf's central points Hitler during the Third Reich) to study philosophy and medicine with an emphasis on anthropology and paleontology, Mengele was swept up in Nazi hysteria and even said that "this simple political concept became a decisive factor in my life." Mengele's newfound admiration for the "simple political concept" led him to intersperse his medical studies with politics. He received his doctorate for the thesis "Racial Morphological Research on the Lower Jaw Section of Four Racial Groups," which suggested ...
