Die Gedenkstätte Bullenhuser Damm - Die medizinischen Experimente (The Medical Experiments)

This plaque belongs to the exhibition in the memorial "Bullenhuser Damm". Ordinary doctors used the opportunities afforded them by the Nazi tyranny to perform medical experiments on people who had been stripped of all basic human rights. SS Reich Leader Heinrich Himmler actively supported this kind of experimentation in the concentration camps. In June 1944, a special department was set up at the Neuengamme concentration camp to enable doctor Kurt Heißmeyer to experiment on prisoners.
