Abstract

The exhibition explores Nazism’s roots in biology and genetics, and examines the role played by German physicians, scientists, public health officials, academic experts, and others in the Nazi Racial eugenics program that culminated in the Holocaust. Deadly Medicine chronicles how Nazi leadership- in its zeal to find biological solutions for social problems- worked with individuals in professions traditionally charged with healing and the public good to legitimize persecution, murder and ultimately genocide.
