Details

Hear from Michael Emmett, M.D., as he examines the disturbing role physicians played in the Holocaust, and the complex legacy that followed. How did Nazi doctors, individuals previously sworn to heal, become central figures in eugenics, inhumane experimentation, and genocide? Emmett will trace the arc from these atrocities to the public trials at Nuremberg, in which several leading medical figures were held accountable for crimes against humanity. He will also confront a lesser-known dimension of the postwar reckoning, how U.S. medical experiments on vulnerable populations influenced the trials and shaped the international conversation on medical ethics.
