Nazi Medical Experiments Project?

Question

I have to write a paper and make a poster/power point presentation on these experiments and how useless and tragic they were. any pictures and information would help a lot, thanks.

Answer 1

Like the people above me said, a lot of the experiments were not useless, some of them were, but for the most part a lot of useful things were found from them.

That being said, they were tragic, awful, and cruel.

One of the most noutorious physicans was Dr. Josef Mengele, who worked in Auschwitz. His experiments included placing subjects in pressure chambers, testing drugs on them, freezing them, attempting to change eye color by injecting chemicals into children's eyes, and various amputations and other brutal surgeries. He's favorite victims were Romania children.

If you were lucky to survive his experiments, you were almost immediality killed afterwords.

Vera Alexander was a Jewish inmate at Auschwitz who looked after 50 sets of Romani twins, she said the following about his experiments:

"I remember one set of twins in particular: Guido and Ina, aged about four. One day, Mengele took them away. When they returned, they were in a terrible state: they had been sewn together, back to back, like Siamese twins. Their wounds were infected and oozing pus. They screamed day and night. Then their parents—I remember the mother's name was Stella—managed to get some morphine and they killed the children in order to end their suffering."

I hope I helped! This is a horrible subject to cover in a sense of brutality.

Here's a picture of a cold water immersion.

Answer 2

Make sure to mention Dr. Joseph Mengele. He worked at Auschwitz. They called him the "angel of death". and if you want really good info, read the book "Auschwitz", by Dr. Miklos Nyiszli.

Answer 3

try doing some research on thalidomide baby's the pill was originally devolved by the Nazis, it was used for women's morning sickness and had horrible results.

Answer 4

I'd try holocaust websites. They have lots of pictures and descriptions. Google or Yahoo! the title of your question.

Answer 5

Tragic yes. Useless, that's a bit harder to nail down. There was some stuff learned from those experiments, but at a terrible cost. If you're going to make a fair presentation, don't forget to include that fact, just make sure you don't sound like you're condoning the experiments themselves.

Good luck.

Answer 6

you were told to prove that they were useless? they were horrid, but there was a lot of evidence produced from the tests.

Look in the Jewish war museum, they have a lot of information and try to make sure it is just the facts so people can't say they are overstating things,

Answer 7

This is gross but there is a book called, "The Nazi Doctors" (and I wish I could remember who the author was) but the book was one of those books where you detest the subject matter but can't stop reading. You might find some information in that and I don't know where you are, but here in California they have the Simon Wiesthenhal Museum.

Answer 8

Contact the Simon Wiesenthal Center - they have great reference material

Answer 9

Tuskeegee Experiment, Eugenics, Forced sterilization of undeirables and non-whites.

Sorry that was America

Answer 10

They were these twin girls, and they sewed them together to be put together. It was very painful for them, their mother stole some poison and gave it to them to take them out of their pain...
