Program Overview:
The Conference on Medicine, Bioethics, and the Holocaust will focus on important issues in the field of medical knowledge in light of the atrocities perpetrated in the name of “scientific progress” during the Holocaust. While the participation of the medical and scientific communities in the labeling, persecution, forced sterilization, and mass murder of millions of those deemed “unfit” or racially inferior that took place before and during World War II has been increasingly well documented, there are currently very few programs in the country that teach about the relevance of the Holocaust for modern medical practice and human rights efforts. The objective of this conference is to reflect upon the medical transgressions of the past in order to protect our future. Aspects of Nazi medicine that are applicable to currently practicing physicians include:
