Department of Neurology, Henry Ford Health, Detroit, MI; and.
Robert Wartenberg was an emigrant from Nazi Germany and an iconic pioneer in neurology, describing eponyms and helping to found and nurture the American Academy of Neurology.

Background: Even 90 years after the National Socialist seizure of power and the beginning of the darkest chapter of German psychiatric history, examination of the medical historical past retains great relevance as an ongoing medical responsibility. The interventions in the lives of mentally ill people by the National Socialist regime are a firmly established part of medical historical research; however, little is known about how specific regions proceeded with affected citizens.
Objective: The aim of this study was therefore to identify transfer routes of the "euthanasia" transports and places of death of the victims from Bochum as well as their patient characteristics.
Article Synopsis
- The Hippocratic oath is a promise that doctors make to treat patients well and not harm them, and it was even used by some doctors in Nazi Germany to stand against the wrongful killing of sick and disabled people.
- In 1947, the World Medical Association updated the oath to ensure that future doctors would understand their duties to protect all patients, regardless of their background.
- The article explains that the oath doesn't actually stop doctors from doing things like abortions or euthanasia, and it suggests that the oath can help doctors remember their responsibilities while supporting women's rights to health care.
The Banality of Data: Patient Records, Nursing, and Ideology.

Nursing Department, University of Applied Sciences Kärnten, Klagenfurt, Austria.
This article explores nursing, patient records, and ideology within the context of the National Socialist "euthanasia" program ( T4) in Germany and Austria from 1939 to 1941, which targeted individuals with mental and physical disabilities for systematic killing. Using Hannah Arendt's concept of the "banality of evil," it examines how ordinary individuals, including nurses, became agents of atrocity by adhering to bureaucratic orders. Jacques Ellul's Ethics of Technology framework is employed to analyze how National Socialist ideology manipulated technological processes to enhance efficiency in genocidal goals.
