Medizin im Nationalsozialismus

Stand, Perspektiven und Aufgaben medizinhistorischer Lehre und Forschung

Since 1945, we have been grappling with questions about the causes, extent and consequences of medical crimes committed under National Socialism. Over the past fifty years in particular, medical history research has achieved a comprehensive and detailed level of knowledge using remarkably complex methods. Given the now almost unmanageable state of research, this volume by the Professional Association for Medical History takes a step back from the detailed research work in order to critically reflect on what has been achieved so far and to highlight perspectives for communication in medical history teaching and science communication in concise and easily accessible articles.

Christian Sammer studied modern and contemporary history, political science and sociology at Humboldt University in Berlin. After working at medical history and medical ethics institutes in Mainz and Münster, he moved to Heidelberg in 2018, where he has been researching and teaching as an academic advisor on the history of preventive medicine, social medicine and medical epistemology since 2023.

Natalie Rath completed her studies in Global History at the Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg in 2023. Until 2025, she worked at the Institute for the History and Ethics of Medicine Heidelberg, where she was involved in the conception and implementation of the app-based city tour “Heidelberger Medizingeschichte”. Since 2025, she has been a research associate at the Institute for the History of Medicine and Ethics in Medicine at Charité Berlin.
