German pilots could go without passing out or having side

Dr. Shilling, here on trial, infected over 1,000 prisoners with Malaria. He was condemned to death and hung. Before he died, he asked if he could finish his

experiments and make notes of his observations for the sake of science.

Josef Mengele, German physician and SS captain. In

1943, he was named SS garrison physician of

Auschwitz. In that capacity, he was responsible for the

differentiation and selection of those fit to work and

those destined for gassing. Mengele also carried out

human experiments on camp inmates, especially twins.

A war crimes investigation photo of the disfigured leg of

a survivor from Ravensbrueck, Polish

political prisoner Helena Hegier (Rafalska), who was

subjected to medical experiments in 1942. This

photograph was entered as evidence for the prosecution

at the Medical Trial in Nuremberg. The disfiguring scars resulted from incisions made by medical personnel

that were purposely infected with bacteria, dirt, and

slivers of glass.

• Why do you think this was being ignored by the allies for so long?

• As a Jew and a prisoner, how do you think they felt being liberated?

• How do you think they felt after they realized the allies had ignored the situation for so long?
