1 Be Not Their Death in Vain. Be Not Their Death in Vain. A Treatise for the use of German Basic A Treatise for the use of German Basic and Clinical Research (1933 and Clinical Research (1933- 1945). 1945). Josef Mengele, MD, PhD Presenter: Mikaela I. Poling, BA, Freeman-Sheldon Research Group, Buckhannon, WV Research Advisors: Rigoberto Ramirez, MD, FACS, and Augusto L. Portillo, MD, Freeman-Sheldon Research Group, Buckhannon/Charleston Dr. and Mrs. Joseph Mow, PhD, Buckhannon Nazi Party theory promoted medicine and research, including huge population- based epidemiology studies, from which society has benefited greatly. This statement is not to attempt a rehabilitation of Nazi policy but to address a practical question: should present researchers, medical historians, and clinicians use this data? Nazis carried out approximately seventy medical studies, involving around two-hundred Aryan physicians and surgeons in the concentration camps. In the post- war years, around forty-five published research papers have cited Nazi-generated research, many of which dealt with hypothermia. I derived specific recommendations: (1) creation of a citation stipulate to be adopted by the editorial boards marking unethical research; and (2) direction of a portion of sales’ profits of reprinted Nazi-generated medical information to organisations that work for remembrance and prevention of such atrocities in the future. Background Background Prologue: Prologue: All for the good of the All for the good of the Volk Volk. Nazi biologically-based political ideology supported and encouraged research on many areas of public health concern. Public heath concerns transitioned into eugenics, ‘euthanasia’, and race hygiene—the Holocaust. Karl Brandt, MD
