The Dangers of White Supremacy
Mixed-race African German and Vietnamese German children were born around 1921, when troops drawn from the French colonial empire occupied the Rhineland. These children were forcibly sterilized in 1937. Racial anthropologists had denounced them as “Rhineland Bastards,” collected details on them, and persuaded the Nazi public health authorities to sterilize 385 of them. One of the adolescents later gave public interviews about his experiences. Apa…
Women's experiences of infertility after the Holocaust
All emigrants are up to the physical, mental, and moral standards required
The current paper critically assesses and reflects on the ideals and realities of two major (British) child migration schemes, namely the British Home Child scheme (1869-1930) and the Kindertransport scheme (1938-1940), to add to current understandings of their place within wider international histories of child migration, moral reforms, eugenics, settlement, and identity. Specifically, we focus on constructions of "mentally and physically defici…
From scientific exploitation to individual memorialization
During the Third Reich, state‐sponsored violence was linked to scientific research on many levels. Prisoners were used as involuntary subjects for medical experiments, and body parts from victims were used in anatomy and neuropathology on a massive scale. In many cases, such specimens remained in scientific collections and were used until long after the war. International bioethics, for a long time, had little to say on the issue. Since the late …
Women Doctors in Weimar and Nazi Germany
Although women came late to the study of medicine in Germany in the early twentieth century, there followed a massive influx of women into the medical profession in the inter-war period. Melissa Kravetz considers this wider process by focusing on women in paediatrics and infant welfare, one of the specialisms which was more open to women. The Bund Deutscher Ärztinnen (League of German Female Physicians) founded in 1924 took a crucial professional…
Electroconvulsive Therapy in the Shadow of the Gas Chambers
Six years after it was first introduced into psychiatry in 1938, electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) became the subject of criminal human experiments in Nazi Germany. In 1944, at the Auschwitz III / Monowitz camp hospital, the Polish Jewish prisoner psychiatrist Zenon Drohocki started experimental treatments on prisoners with an ECT device that he had constructed himself. According to eyewitnesses, Drohocki's intention to treat mentally unstable pris…
Therapeutic Fascism
Ana Antić’s book makes innovative use of psychiatric case records as a lens to view popular attitudes to the German-imposed order in the dismembered and occupied Yugoslavia during the Second World War. The primary, and wholly laudable, aim is to examine the construction of mentalities under the severe stress of occupation. At the same time this is a study which is comparative in terms of sporadic references to other contexts. A link is discerned …

From Isolation to Therapy
During the nineteenth century, the world of the child shifted from fields and workshops to schools and the domestic environment. Although compulsory primary education had been established in most German states in the 1700s, the 1880s saw a new concern with school health with the introduction of medical inspection and greater emphasis on sports; compulsory elementary education was introduced in England in 1880, and in France in 1886. The 1880s als…
Julian Huxley and the Continuity of Eugenics in Twentieth-century Britain
Julian Huxley and the Continuity of Eugenics in Twentieth-century Britain The science and ideas of Julian Sorrell Huxley represent not only considerable contributions to evolutionary theory but also to eugenic thought and social planning. Huxley's career history as an international figure was complex. This paper sees Huxley's peripatetic career as linked to ideological agendas of «a new world order».

New essays providing a wide-ranging cultural, social, and political picture of volatile between-the-wars Vienna. Although beset by social, political, and economic instabilities, interwar Vienna was an exhilarating place, with pioneering developments in the arts and innovations in the social sphere. Research on the period long saw the city asa mere shadow of its former imperial self; more recently it has concentrated on high-profile individual fig…
Medical Refugees and the Modernisation of British Medicine, 1930-1960
This paper reappraises the position of medical refugees in Britain between the 1930s and 1950s. Advocates of reforming British medicine in terms of its knowledge base and social provision emerged as strongly supportive of the medical refugees. By way of contrast, an élite in the British Medical Association attempted to exercise a controlling regime through the Home Office Advisory Committee. The effects of these divisions are gauged by reconstruc…

Medical Science in the Light of a Flawed Study of the Holocaust
In her PhD thesis Reading Fleck: Questions on Philosophy and Science (Hedfors, 2006) and her papers based on it, Eva Hedfors proposes a sci entifically informed reading of Ludwik Fleck that aims to contest the (puta tive) mythology of Fleck. According to Hedfors, Fleck is believed to have been an important scientist. However, a careful reading of his scientific papers, she claims, reveals that Fleck's studies were poorly done, often meaningless a…
For the Love of Christ
The end of the second world war saw the Allied occupation authorities faced by substantial problems of malnutrition, refugees and crime. The military and Allied occupation authorities lacked the resources to resolve these problems, and had to rely on a range of external assistance organizations to cope with malnutrition and the refugee problem. Assistance came from a complicated array of organizations, including international agencies associated …
Belsenitis”
Argument The liberation of the concentration camp at Bergen-Belsen has remained controversial with opinion divided over whether the British military and subsequently the British zonal administration responded adequately to the plight of survivors. This paper reconsiders the evidence on health conditions at Bergen-Belsen. At first the British underestimated the incidence of typhus and the delay in taking effective measures caused the death rate to…

L’eugénisme comme médecine sociale
The Weimar Republic saw new concerns to weed out supposedly “inferior” persons who spread psychological and physical disabilities. Within the framework of a democratic state, professional experts sought to identify those of “lesser value” – the so-called Minderwertigen. On the other hand, those of high eugenic value were encouraged to have large families. Eugenics should be seen as part of a human economy – or Menschenökonomie – promoting a fit a…
Stepchildren of Nature
The Viennese psychiatrist Richard von Krafft-Ebing represents a defining point in the medical classification of modern sexual types. Harry Oosterhuis has written a richly documented and imaginative study based on a vast collection of case records. Krafft-Ebing's hallmark was the detailed, individual case history, as he moved away from practice in an asylum to confront sexual deviance throughout society. His clientele approached him as a tolerant …

From Sentiment to Science
The transformation of the ethos of children's relief organisations from sentimentalism into science was reflected in the rise of nutritional science, eugenics, child psychology and child guidance. A related transition occurred in the organisational forms of child welfare organisations: with the rise of welfare states, government organisations took an increasing role. Internationally there was a move to expand the scope of charities relieving chil…

Philosophical threads
In the overwhelmingly public world of the twentieth century, science often seems simultaneously remote and ubiquitous. There are many complex reasons for this, of course, not the least being the capacity of technology for material transformation and the apparent inability of scientific discourse to communicate its practice to the unanointed. In some ways, our current predicament appears similar to that of the late eighteenth century when so many …

Science and Sedition
A recent note by lan Inkster observed that a Parliamentary Act of 1817 to suppress seditious meetings also posed a threat to scientific lecturers and societies between 1817 and 1820. Further evidence is presented here as to the intentions of the 1817 Act and its effects on science. It is particularly important to add to the observations of Inkster, first, that chartered societies were exempt, and second, that the Act expired on 14 July 1818, alth…

From International to Zonal Trials
This article examines how plans to have a second International Military Tribunal led to the Medical Trial at Nuremberg. While the British opposed a second international trial because of their distrust of the Soviets, they supported a plan for a series of special zonal trials to be conducted by the American authorities at Nuremberg. In December 1945 the British became aware of the extent of medical war crimes committed by the Germans. Their invest…
Dissecting German Social Darwinism
The ArgumentRecognizing that social Darwinism is an intrinsically varied and composite concept, this essay advocates an approach delineating the various intellectual constituents and sociopolitical contexts. It is argued that German social Darwinism has often had a sophisticated biological content, and that the prevalent notion of the state as a biological organism has drawn on non-Darwinian biological theories. Different social interests and pro…
Purity and Epidemic Danger in German Occupied Poland during the First World War
During the First World War, German public health authorities set out to cleanse occupied areas of formerly Russian Poland of pathogenic hazards. The wide‐ranging programme involved not only sanitary measures but also educational programmes designed to encourage the local population to adopt a more hygienic lifestyle. The German public health officers identified a number of hazards associated with Jewish rituals and customs, and the educational pr…

The ‘Sonderweg’ of German Eugenics
The history of eugenics has become a classic arena for examining how the interplay of culture, social interests and social structures affects the advancement of science. At the same time eugenics demonstrates how in the first half of the twentieth century, the expectation arose that science could offer the solution of social problems; for biology intruded into many areas of social policy during the 1920s and 30s. Historians of science have been s…
