Medical experiments in the holocaust

Answer 1

Many medical experiments were performed during the Holocaust. Josef Mengle sewed Jewish twins together to make Siamese twins, but that wasn't all that he did. He also froze them to see how long they could stay in cold water. Many Nazis were involved in trying to transplant bone, muscle, and tissue. The doctors tried to find antibiotics to gas gangrene by creating battle like wounds on victims and then infecting them, they would rub sawdust dust, glass and wood all in these wounds. Jews were used to perfect methods of torture, and to perfect methods of execution. Experiments were harsh, and unprecedented.

Did you Know that not all of the doctors in concentration camps were actually licensed? They performed experiments while drunk, and angry. Half of their research was biased and probably not up to par in the medical world today.

On December 9th 1946 there was a trial held were many Nazi physicians were prosecuted for crimes against war and crimes against humanity.

Answer 2

At death camps like Auschwitz children did not fare well: they were often killed upon arrival. Children born in the camps were generally killed on the spot, especially if the child was Jewish.

Answer 3

they were usually killed along with the females only the adoloscent boys and older males were kept alive to do work i studied this last year so i know

--------------

you are of course asking about the children who were not killed:

there were two major categories of children who were not killed; those who were in the 'family camps', like the Gypsy camp in Auschwitz II and those who were specifically kept alive for medical experiments.

When they were not needed for experimentation, or were recovering they were allowed to play within the confines of their camp.

Answer 4

Some victims got sewn (or stitch you may say) together, twins would be examined then get injected with poison in the heart then they make sure they die at the same time and dissect the twins and send their organs to researchers. Others were freezed to death and some were placed in hot baths that gone to hot for the body and you'd die. I'm assuming they were trying to see the lowest and highest temperature someone can survive with.

Answer 5

Holocaust victims went through a horrible experience of starvation, gassings, and torture by being hit by blunt objects. They were also injected with drugs.

They also would make there prisoners lay in ice water bath tubs for up to 3 hours. Or make them go out in below zero weather naked. they also tried to figure out a way to make salt water drinkable, so they would load them with chemicals and make them drink, usually causing death. They did altitude testing also, to see how high they would make it without oxygen.

Answer 6

During the holocaust, there were mostly medical experiments done on children. This included brain mapping, and experiments to see the reactions of the human body to medications.

Answer 7

yes, there were lots of them, most main camps had MEs that would perform them.
