Abstract
In 2005 I approached the HolocaustMuseum Houston with a proposal for an exhibit and a lecture series about medicine and the Holocaust. The exhibit, How Healing Becomes Killing: Eugenics, Euthanasia, Extermination, was open from September 2007 through February 2008. Concurrently, 33 physicians, biomedical scientists, historians, lawyers, and ethicists discussed the contemporary relevance of the medical profession’s behavior in the Third Reich during theMichael DeBakeyMedical Ethics Lecture Series. Twenty-one of these distinguished ladies and gentlemen wrote the papers that are included in this book.
