Synopsis
Contributing Authors

Tuberkulose wurde von den Menschen in der ersten Halfte des 20. Jahrhunderts als die grosste gesundheitliche Bedrohung wahrgenommen. Arzte, Wissenschaftler und Gesundheitspolitiker suchten fieberhaft nach einer wirksamen Therapie der Erkrankung. Im Nationalsozialismus wuchs die Stigmatisierung der Kranken und der Druck, sich unsicheren Therapien zu unterziehen. Tuberkulosekranke wurden zwangsweise in Psychiatrien eingewiesen oder sogar Opfer des Krankenmordes. Die SS organisierte in mehreren Konzentrationslagern gross angelegte Menschenversuche zur Erprobung von Tuberkulosemedikamenten. In dieser Studie untersucht Christine Wolters die Versuche im Konzentrationslager Sachsenhausen – die Hintergrunde, das Netzwerk von Tatern, deren Biografien und die Vermarktung des Medikaments. In the first half of the 20th century, tuberculosis was perceived as the greatest threat to people’s health. During the National Socialist period, the sick were increasingly stigmatized and pressurized into undergoing questionable forms of treatment. Those suffering from tuberculosis were forcibly committed to psychiatric institutions, while the SS organized large scale experiments on human subjects in several concentration camps. In the present study, Christine Wolters examines the human experiments conducted in Sachsenhausen concentration camp – the story behind them, the network of perpetrators and their biographies.
