    Treatment of Sick Prisoners Pen drawing by Ragnar Sørensen, date unknown. Ragnar Sørensen, a former prisoner from Norway, was imprisoned in Neuengamme in March/April 1945. (MDF) Lab Records The sick-bay’s lab records are among the few original documents from Neuengamme concentration camp that remain today. They contain around 17,900 entries dated between May 1941 and May 1944. Examinations of urine and sputum as well as blood sedimentation tests were already routine procedures at the time, whereas blood group tests and examinations of faeces were more demanding, both for the lab’s equipment and the lab staff. A striking feature of these records are the many cases of active tuberculosis. Replica. (ANg) X-Ray Photograph of a TBC Experiment In 1944/45, SS physician Dr. Kurt Heißmeyer carried out experiments with tubercle bacilli at Neuengamme concentration camp, at first on up to 100 men and later on 20 Jewish children between the ages of five and twelve. For most of Heißmeyer’s subjects, these experiments resulted in severe permanent damage to their health, and for many of them they proved fatal. On 11 October 1944, Heißmeyer used a probe to inject tubercle bacilli into the lungs of 21- year-old Soviet prisoner Ivan Churkin (see photograph). On 9 November 1944, he had Churkin hanged so he could dissect his body and analyse the results. (ANg) Collage Made up of Five Photographs Photographs of five of the 20 Jewish children who were brought to Neuengamme from Auschwitz concentration camp in November 1944 to be used as subjects for Heißmeyer’s medical experiments.

It consisted of Auschwitz I (the base camp); Auschwitz II–Birkenau (the extermination camp); Auschwitz III–Monowitz (a labor camp to staff an IG Farben factory), and 45 satellite camps. Auschwitz I was first constructed to hold Polish political prisoners, who began to arrive in May 1940. The first extermination of prisoners took place in September 1941, and Auschwitz II–Birkenau went on to become a major site of the Nazi "Final Solution to the Jewish question". From early 1942 until late 1944, transport trains delivered Jews to the camp's gas chambers from all over German-occupied Europe, where they were killed with the pesticide Auschwitz concentration camp 2 Zyklon B.

Plott 1 Nicole Plott Dr. Bethany Hicks World at War December 18, 2014 Children at Auschwitz Auschwitz concentration camp was the largest camp established by the Nazis. The camp was in fact three main camps with different functions but with one main purpose: to force the prisoners to work. This well-known camp’s construction started in May of 1940 in Poland, which was annexed in 1939. Auschwitz would eventually be separated into three separate camps, Auschwitz I, Auschwitz II ( Auschwitz- Birkenua) and lastly Auschwitz III (Auschwitz- Monowitz).1 Auschwitz I, the main camp, was only 15 square miles. It housed German prisoners and Polish political prisoners. Another purpose of the camp was to keep potential enemies of the Nazi party and German authorities in Poland confided, have a ready supply of laborers and to kill small amounts of people pre-determined by Nazi Germany. Auschwitz, like many other camps had a gas chamber and crematorium.

  • Tell Ye Your Children
    Tell Ye Your Children… Your Ye Tell Tell Ye Your Children… STÉPHANE BRUCHFELD AND PAUL A. LEVINE A book about the Holocaust in Europe 1933-1945 – with new material about Sweden and the Holocaust THE LIVING HISTORY FORUM In 1997, the former Swedish Prime Minister Göran Persson initiated a comprehensive information campaign about the Holocaust entitled “Living History”. The aim was to provide facts and information and to encourage a discussion about compassion, democracy and the equal worth of all people. The book “Tell Ye Your Children…” came about as a part of this project. The book was initially intended primarily for an adult audience. In 1999, the Swedish Government appointed a committee to investigate the possibilities of turning “Living History” into a perma- nent project. In 2001, the parliament decided to set up a new natio- nal authority, the Living History Forum, which was formally establis- hed in 2003. The Living History Forum is commissioned to work with issues related to tolerance, democracy and human rights, using the Holocaust and other crimes against humanity as its starting point. This major challenge is our specific mission. The past and the pre- sent are continuously present in everything we do. Through our continuous contacts with teachers and other experts within education, we develop methods and tools for reaching our key target group: young people.

    Medical Humanities e Pneumologia / Medical Humanities and Pneumology I bambini della scuola di Bullenhuser Damm, la tubercolosi e la loro storia Bullenhuser Damm school children, tuberculosis and their history Riassunto Federico E. Perozziello La scuola di Bullenhuser Damm è un edificio scolastico situato alla periferia della città di Amburgo, nel Nord della Germania. In questo luogo, nella notte tra il 20 e il 21 aprile del 1945, venti bambini di età compresa tra i sette e i tredici anni furono uccisi dalle SS naziste. Erano stati sottoposti, nei mesi precedenti, a una crudele Medico Specialista in Malattie e inutile sperimentazione per un possibile vaccino contro la tubercolosi. Per fare sparire le prove di questo dell’Apparato Respiratorio crimine i bambini furono tutti uccisi e poi bruciati, insieme ad altre vittime innocenti di età adulta. Quello che Specialista in Chemioterapia segue è il racconto di questa vicenda che non deve essere dimenticata.
