Nazi physicians
Nazi physicians were medical professionals who aligned with the Nazi regime in Germany and participated in unethical practices, including human experimentation, forced sterilizations, and the murder of marginalized groups such as Jews, Romani people, and disabled individuals. Their actions were driven by racist ideology and a desire to support Nazi goals of racial purity and dominance. These physicians often disregarded medical ethics, causing immense suffering and violating fundamental human rights. Their involvement in atrocities highlighted the importance of ethical standards in medicine and led to post-war efforts to hold them accountable during the Nuremberg Trials.
