Reviews

In April 2001, praised Linus S. Geisler 's work, in which the "Publisher together with thirteen other authors all material facts, aspects and consequences of physician process collected" would, in the Frankfurter Rundschau worth reading as "yet enjoying an oppressive sense revealing ".

Thomas Gerst wrote in April 2001 in Deutsches Ärzteblatt : Destroying and Healing. The Nuremberg Doctors Trial and its consequences “approaches the subject of its investigation from different perspectives. The history and consequences of the medical process are presented as well as the implementation of criminal research experiments on people or medical ethical problems arising in connection with the process. The explanations by Angelika Ebbinghaus and Karl Heinz Roth on the war surgery experiments in the concentration camps can be highlighted as examples. The interviews with the victims of the human experiments, who were defenselessly exposed to the experiments like guinea pigs, are impressive. "

Wolfgang U. Eckart dealt with the work in Die Zeit in July 2001 : “We are grateful to Angelika Ebbinghaus and Klaus Dörner that this - after Alexander Mitscherlich's and Fred Mielke's Medicine Without Humanity (1947) - is perhaps the most important work on German medical crimes could appear during the Nazi dictatorship. This is important not only because the authors meticulously document the horror of German research medicine between 1939 and 1945, but also because the background to the Nuremberg Doctors' Trial in 1946/47, its prehistory and its effects on the ethics of human experimentation are examined for the first time. Outstanding in the evaluation of new sources is undoubtedly the contribution by Karl Heinz Roth about the inhuman aviation medicine experiments in Dachau. Particularly noteworthy are also the essays by Angelika Ebbinghaus about the victims and perpetrators of the war surgery experiments in the concentration camps and by Klaus Dörner about the self-image of the accused physicians. ”He went on to write that you have to read this volume, but in the end you may not be able to understand it , "Because what is described is too monstrous."

In October 2001 Udo Schumacher reviewed the work in the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung and wrote that he knew “no better book than this one” in order to understand “the special historical dimension and responsibility of Germany” “and to stimulate thought about ethical medical practice” .
