| Summary: | In this prodigiously researched volume Paul Julian Weindling completes his “informal trilogy” (p. 6) on the relationship between medicine, eugenics, and genocide in modern German history (the other two volumes being Health, Race and German Politics between National Unification and Nazism, 1870–1945 [1993] and Epidemics and Genocide in Eastern Europe, 1890–1945 [2000]). In effect taking up where his earlier studies left off, Weindling here examines the aftermath of Nazi medical crimes and the difficult choices that the western Allied occupation authorities faced in deciding how to respond to them., Weindling recounts the investigation leading up to the Nuremberg medical trial and the trial itself, concluding with an analysis of what he calls the trial's “fragile legacy” (p. 319). |
