Medical Experiments During The Holocaust

The first category is aimed at making it easier for their military personnel to survive. They did high altitude experiments on the prisoners. They used a low pressure chamber used to determine the highest altitude from where crews could parachute to safety from a damaged aircraft. They also did what they called “freezing” experiments. They were doing these experiments, to try and find ways to treat, and prevent Hypothermia. This is only the beginning of the dangerous experiments, that they did on some of the prisoners.

David’s claim that the Holocaust occurred because the Germans became unusually cruel is false based on the fundamental attribution error and Milgram’s experiments. The fundamental attribution error is the tendency to attribute other people’s behavior to internal factors, instead of accounting for situational factors. David committed this error when stating that Germans, as a whole, were “sadistic people with abnormal and twisted personalities”. David did not account for the immense pressure that the German public felt from Hitler during World War II. Although many atrocities were being committed, the Germans feared for their lives if they stood up for the Jews and disobeyed Hitler’s rule. David would be correct if he said that some Germans became systematically cruel, but the fundamental attribution error is introduced when David says that all Germans became systematically cruel.

Both Jewish men and women had unimaginable experiments performed on them by doctors. These experiments never had been done before and were obviously life threatening. Some were just done for cruel pleasure (Ringelheim). Not only did Jewish women have experimental procedures done, but they would also be sterilized. The German Nazis did not believe that children born to a Jewish family could be “germanized”; which means you get swiped from all Jewish beliefs, you were

Everyone who has learned about World War II should know about the Holocaust. The Holocaust was during the same period of World War II. “What is it called the Holocaust?” you may ask. The Holocaust originates from the Greek language and means “completely burnt offering to God.” How does this relate to the Holocaust where almost 8 million Jewish people died? In this essay, you will be informed about the main leader of the Nazis, why saying that Hitler only captured Jews is historically inaccurate, concentration camp treatment, and five atrocious experiments done by the Nazi soldiers to innocent prisoners.

This article talks about how researchers began to document about all the ghettos, slave labor sites, concentration camps and the killing factories of the Nazis throughout Europe that has shocked scholars about the history of the Holocaust. During the reign of Hitler’s brutality from 1933 to 1945 researchers have cataloged 42,500 Nazi ghettos and camps throughout Europe, spanning German-controlled areas from France to Russia and Germany. The documented camps included “killing centers” and thousands of forced labor camps. In the forced labored camps, prisoners manufactured war supplies, prisoner-of-war camps, and sites named “care” centers, where pregnant woman were forced to have abortions or their babies were killed after birth. Women were

The Holocaust took place during the years 1933 to 1945. It was an attempt to remove all of the Jews, and other smaller groups such as homosexuals and Jehovah's Witnesses, which lived in the country of Germany. The events that took place during the holocaust were lead by a German man named Adolf Hitler. Schindler's List is a film about the Holocaust from a man named Oskar Schindler's perspective as a leader of a concentration camp. The film displays the five stages of the Holocaust. These five stages include when life became uncomfortable for the Jews, violent life for the Jews, isolation of the Jews, removal of the Jews, and “the final solution” in trying to do away with still living German Jews.

During the Holocaust, Jews were robbed of their identities and their humanity in countless ways. The Holocaust was conducted like an experiment about how many ways a person could be dehumanized, then killed. It is hard to understand how people could do such horrific and inhumane things to other humans. It doesn't seem humanly possible to put innocent human beings through such terrible physical and emotional pain. The Nazis deprived concentration camp inmates of their natural human rights, and of any other humanity they had left in them.

The Holocaust was a horrific tragedy which started in January of 1933 and ended in May of 1945, the Holocaust was the mass murder of millions of people. The word was derived from the Greek word that meant Sacrifice to the Gods (Steele 7), also called the Shoan which is the Hebrew word for catastrophe (Steele 7). So many countries took place in this 12-year genocide, including, “Germany, Italy, Japan, Romania, Hungary, and Bulgaria, which were also known as the Axis Powers” (Steele 34). But, although there were all those countries they were all part of one larger group called the Nazis, were the ones who were killing all the different denominations of people. (Bachrach 58). All of this led to the gigantic catastrophe called the Holocaust. The

The holocaust, lasting from 1933 to 1945, became known as one of the most disturbing affairs in history. During this time period not only were six million Jew’s murdered, but many people from different minority groups were killed as well. They were brought to German concentration camps, where they were prisoners in very harsh conditions. There is one thing people do not know about the Holocaust, however. Nazi physicians preformed various medical experiments on prisoners from the concentration camps, for military and medical advancement.

Elie Wiesel was forced to face death in chapter 7. It starts to snow and it gets really cold. None of the prisoners have any warm clothes to wear. They need to be really close together to make themselves warm so that's what they do. “Pressed tightly against one another, in an effort to resist the cold, our heads empty and heavy, our brains a whirlwind of decaying memories. Our minds numb with indifference. Here or elsewhere, what did it matter? Die today or tomorrow, or later? The night was growing longer, never-ending. This shows how much effort they are putting in to stay alive and how cold it is. Elie starts dying and giving up because he think that the will never end. “When at last a grayish light appeared on the horizon, it revealed

Out of the two world wars, World War II is known to be the bloodiest and brutal war. The main reason this is to believed is because to the Holocaust. The Holocaust was the time period where many were persecuted for their beliefs and race. Hitler is who is to blame for the Holocaust, he is the one who organized all the horrific things done to the people who did not fall under his Master Race. Despite the many theories about the purpose of the Holocaust, the real purpose make those who weren’t members of the Master Race fear the Nazi Regime, to force them to obey the Nazi’s without question.

The Years of 1935-1945 were among the most disturbing from the Jewish point of view. The Jews were treated as animals and thrown into camps surrounded by barbed wire. They were barely fed and forced to work all day long until evening without breaks. Many of the prisoners in these camps died of dysentery, starvation, or hypothermia. Upon entrance to the camp, the prisoners were given medical exams and the weak were immediately sent to their deaths, many weren’t lucky enough to even get a burial as shown here.

The Holocaust was the mass genocide of mainly Jewish people and the “undesirables”. The jewish people were dehumanized by the Nazis. All of the people that were persecuted in the mass genocide were either placed into death camps, work camps, or the ghetto when waiting to get to a death camp or work camp.

At times, doctors have to choose between the preservation and honor of a patient's dignity or to break ethical guidelines to help the human races’ health. A doctor who puts his patients’ well-being as his priority, usually respects the patient’s wishes. However, many factors influence a person’s decision to conduct an unethical experiment. In the contemporary biography, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, Rebecca Skloot shows that scientists constantly discover and develop new concepts and procedures that help heal numerous people, despite the unethical experiments that they conduct on living organisms.
