Victims of Biomedical Research under National Socialism: Leopoldina and Max Planck Society publish database for science and remembrance<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
\n

There were tens of thousands of human victims of coerced medical<\/a> research under the German National Socialist regime. An important approach to processing these crimes involves raising awareness of the individual fates of those affected and thus giving them back their names and histories. Professor Dr Patrick Cramer, President of the Max Planck Society, and Professor Dr Bettina Rockenbach, President of the German National Academy of Sciences Leopoldina, emphasised this point when presenting the first online database that offers systematic access to the names and biographies of victims of unethical medical research under National Socialism<\/a>. The database encourages remembrance, research, and historical reflection. It was developed as part of the joint research project \u201cBrain Research at Institutes of the Kaiser Wilhelm Society in the Context of National Socialist Injustices\u201d, which is funded by the Max Planck Society.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cHistory shows us what human beings are capable of when an autocratic state rejects an established humanitarian value system in favour of racist ideology and fanaticism. Science must also remember this and recommit itself to ethical principles; today\u2019s highly specialized research must not lose sight of the human dimension. This applies especially to the MPG, given its long history in the KWG\u201d, says\u00a0Patrick Cramer, President of the Max Planck Society.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe can only approach our societal heritage responsibly once we have conducted historical research and if we continue to do this research. Thus, the aforementioned project contributes to a culture of remembrance which is based on scientific findings. This is predominantly the achievement of the scientists who worked to comprehensively uncover the connections between the obtaining, conservation of, and research on these tissue samples\u201d, says\u00a0Bettina Rockenbach, President of the German National Academy of Sciences Leopoldina.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The database comprises around 16,000 profiles of victims of coerced medical research under National Socialism. It also comprises more than 13,000 profiles of individuals whose fates have not yet been conclusively researched. The database connects the individuals and events to primary and secondary sources, thus creating a foundation for further studies and analyses. Private persons can use the database to search for relatives. The database offers multi-level access: The victims\u2019 names and key biographical dates are publicly visible, in line with the database\u2019s important function as a platform for remembrance. \u00a0Information on individual experiments and the institutions involved in them are also provided at this level. In order to make the data more tangible to the general public, selected biographies illustrate the fate of individual victims. An interactive map highlights the extent and geographical distribution of the crimes. Additional, sensitive data on the history of the illnesses and persecution suffered by the victims is not accessible to the general public. The website provides a contact form for those who wish to apply for access to this additional data for research purposes. Relatives can apply for access to all the data relating to their family members.<\/p>\n

The database is based on the extensive research carried out by Professor Dr\u00a0Paul Weindling\u00a0and his team at the Oxford Brookes University in Oxford\/UK. He researches the history of science and medicine under National Socialism. He focuses in particular on the victims of coerced biomedical research. This includes people who were victims of medical experiments in concentration camps as well as sick people who were murdered as part of \u201ceuthanasia\u201d programmes. Paul Weindling aims to reconstruct and raise awareness of the individual fates of affected persons.<\/p>\n

The database is also based on the results of the research project \u201cBrain Research at Institutes of the Kaiser Wilhelm Society in the Context of National Socialist Injustices\u201d, funded by the Max Planck Society. During the National Socialist era, researchers from institutes of the Kaiser Wilhelm Society \u2013 the predecessor to today\u2019s Max Planck Society \u2013 collected samples of brain tissue from the victims of \u201ceuthanasia\u201d murders as well as from other persecuted individuals, including prisoners of war, civilians from territory occupied by the German army, and victims of the National Socialist judicial system. Many of these samples were still used for scientific purposes long after 1945. The research project examines the historical connections between the obtaining, conservation of, and research on these brain tissue samples. The project was led by Paul Weindling, Professor Dr Herwig Czech (Medical University of Vienna\/Austria), Dr Philipp Rauh (as successor to Gerrit Hohendorf (deceased), both from the Technical University of Munich), and, from 2021 as co-project leader, Professor Dr\u00a0Volker Roelcke\u00a0(University of Gie\u00dfen\/Germany).<\/p>\n

The database is published in English and is available using the following link:\u00a0https:\/\/ns-medical-victims.org\/\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

An interview with Paul Weindling about the database has been published on the Leopoldina website:\u00a0https:\/\/www.leopoldina.org\/en\/press\/newsletter\/interview-database-ns-coerced-research\/ \u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n
