From the Third Reich to America

This September, Germany's Anatomical Society will hold a symposium called “Anatomy in the Third Reich,” which is a panel discussing the work of Nazi anatomists, like Eduard Pernkopf, who used victims of genocide to further medical research. It’s important to continue to examine the Nazis' "final solutions" lest we forget the horror and evil of those times.

But perhaps we’ve already started forgetting—this report reminded me that, perhaps, we’re not so far from carrying out the same heinous acts that people like Pernkopf did.
