Nazi Medicine: Are There Lessons for Today?

Prior to the advent of fascism in 1933, Germany’s medical profession was considered the most prominent in the world, a center of great discoveries. Yet German doctors joined the Nazi party in greater relative numbers than any other profession, and Nazi genocidal programs were led by physicians. Many of these programs were modeled after earlier initiatives in the US.
