The Doctors Trial
The Medical Case of the Subsequent Nuremberg Proceedings
http://www.ushmm.org/research/doctors/index.html
On December 9, 1946, an American military tribunal opened criminal
proceedings against 23 leading German physicians and administrators
for their willing participation in war crimes and crimes against
humanity. In Nazi Germany, German physicians planned and enacted
the "Euthanasia" Program, the systematic killing of those they
deemed "unworthy of life." The victims included the mentally
retarded, the institutionalized mentally ill, and the physically
impaired. Further, during World War II, German physicians conducted
pseudoscientific medical experiments utilizing thousands of
concentration camp prisoners without their consent. Most died or were
permanently crippled as a result. Most of the victims were Jews,
Poles, Russians, and also Roma (Gypsies). After almost 140 days of
proceedings, including the testimony of 85 witnesses and the
submission of almost 1,500 documents, the American judges pronounced
their verdict on August 20, 1947. Sixteen of the doctors were found
guilty. Seven were sentenced to death. They were executed on June 2,
1948.
In commemoration of the fiftieth anniversary of the Doctors Trial,
the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum presents excerpts from
the official trial record, with accompanying photographs:

Excerpts From Nazi Documents:
http://facultystaff.vwc.edu/~dgraf/nazidocs.txt
The following are excerpts from original Nazi documents, relating
directly to the extermination of Jews and others which was carried
out by the Nazis during WW2. The purpose of this collection is both
to present such documents in an easily accessible form, and to
point out more complete references.
Naturally, in preparing a collection like this, one has to decide
which documents to use; the amount of material is enormous. I have
tried to choose a small set of representative ones, which touch
as many aspects as possible. Many of these documents are very long,
so I have restricted myself to short excerpts.
My remarks are inside square [...] brackets.
