Is teleportation more than just an idea? Can one twin feel another's pain? Why is frostbite bad? When Hitler came to power in the early 1920s and late 1930s, the National Socialist German Workers' Party, or more commonly known as the Nazi Party, sought to answer many of these questions - and more. Although nearly all of these experiments conducted by the Nazi Party were cruel and grotesque, the medical world learned much about medical conditions, medical practices, and the capabilities of the human body. German scientists performed three main types of experiments: pharmaceutical tests, experiments on war wounds and diseases, and racial experiments. For pharmaceutical testing, the Nazis used many of their concentration camps, such as Sachsenhausen, Natzweiler, Neuengamme, Dachau, and Buchenwald. to test some drugs on their Jewish prisoners. Various compounds were tested to see if they could fight contagious diseases such as hepatitis, yellow fever, tuberculosis and typhoid. For one particular malaria experiment, over 1,000 Jewish inmates were infected with malaria-infected mosquitoes or injected with malaria-infected blood. One prisoner, Vieweg, said: "I was used for malaria experiments by Professor Dachfinney in the Dachau concentration camp... On five occasions, I received injections of five cubic centimeters of highly infectious malaria blood. Most often, I ran a very high temperature. I was very exhausted and, after the injection, I received large doses of drugs, quinine, ephedrine and many others”; he continued by saying that even many years later he would still have malaria attacks and would have difficulty working (Spitz.) In other tests, subjects were then… middle of paper… sent, there must be a valid reason behind the search (not just curiosity), and the search must have been successfully performed on animals first.Works Cited Bachrach, Susan, PhD. “In the Name of Public Health – Nazi Racial Hygiene.” Beth. “Report on the Nazi Medical Experiment: Evidence from Nuremberg.” Social Education 59.6 (1995): 367.
