W providers' choices and actions had an enormous impact on millions of lives
during World War II and the Holocaust. The German medical profession influenced the
development of Nazi racial policies, and many doctors and nurses became complicit in Nazi
medical experiments or the regime’s so-called "euthanasia" program. During the years of
Nazi rule, medical care could become a form of opportunism, a means for survival, or a
method of resistance. This collection explores how doctors, nurses, and others devoted to
healing encountered profound moral and ethical dilemmas as a direct result of Nazi
policies.
For those providing and seeking medical care, the priorities and possibilities changed
drastically in Nazi Germany and territories under its control. Shortly after rising to power in
1933, the Nazi regime began reorganizing Germany's cultural, social, and professional
organizations to redefine who belonged to German society and who was marginalized and
excluded. The Nazis swiftly reformed professional medical associations, and membership
became limited to non-Jewish Germans whom the regime determined held pro-Nazi political

organizations while using them to spread Nazi propaganda. Medical associations often began valuing political

conformity more than medical knowledge. In this climate, ideologically acceptable "Aryan" medical providers like
nurse Anna Hölzer were promoted past the limits of their abilities until their poor medical skills became impossible to
ignore.
