Stories That Need to Be Heard

When I was in college I wrote a massive paper about the medical profession in Germany during WWII, including it's role in various nasty Nazi programs. The popular conception of the Nazis was that their ranks were made up of lower class working folk who "bought in" to the propaganda of a reborn Reich. In fact, party membership was highest amongst professionals, including doctors.

Part of the medical profession's involvement in the regime was conducting experiments on concentration camp victims. Now the stories of some survivors are being cataloged for posterity. It is horiffic to think about what one human being can do to another, particularly in the name of "science." The stories of those who survived this torture need to be remembered as a warning of just what kind of evil the human race is capable of.
