German Medical Association Finally Apologizes For Atrocities Committed by German Physicians Under the Nazis
NIH - US National Library of Medicine ^ | Nov-Dec 2013 | Arthur Gale, MD

Almost seven decades after the end of World War II, the German Medical Association has made a long overdue apology for its participation in human rights violations and atrocities under the Nazi regime. In a stunning admission the Declaration states that German doctors from all strata of the profession enthusiastically supported Nazi ideology and were not coerced to support Hitler.

The Declaration of May 12, 2012, which was unanimously adopted by the delegates of the Physician’s Congress declared: “In contrast to still widely accepted view, the initiative for the most serious human rights violations did not originate from the political authorities at the time, but rather from the physicians themselves… German doctors “were guilty of scores of human rights violations”…

“The crimes were simply not the acts of individual doctors, but rather took place with the substantial involvement of leading representatives of the medical association and medical specialist bodies as well as considerable representatives of university medicine and renowned biomedical research facilities.”

2012 also marked the 65th anniversary of the Nuremburg Doctors’ Trial...The prime legacy of the Nuremberg Doctor’s Trial is the Nuremberg Code. Of the ten points in the Nuremberg Code Point, the first one which states “the voluntary consent of the human subject is absolutely essential” is the most important.

The crimes committed by German physicians in their human experimentation have been amply documented. The victims were mainly Jews, Poles, Russians, and other prisoners. They suffered horribly from the gruesome experiments; many died.

"We acknowledge the responsibility for the medical crimes committed under the Nazi regime and regard these events as a warning for the present and the future...We pay our respects to all the victims, those still alive today and those who have already died, as well as their descendants and ask for their forgiveness.”

The Nazis invented hate against innocent people and demanded like you, how people should act.

You never thought of that.

Btw Don’t get vaccinated for all I care.

When politics gets mixed with science and greed subjugates higher calling, hypocrisy replaces the Hippocratic oath and “here we go again.”

History doesn’t forget, but people easily forget history, especially the history they’ve never been taught.

the ‘doctor doctors’ of Germany realize they participated in a horror people in the west wouldn’t do to animals...

Just like the West's love of abortion. Imagine if we killed unborn puppies the way we torture to death an unborn child? PETA and Friends of Animals and the ASPCA would burn DC down.

And yet another reason that the 2nd amendment exists and should never be given up.

That’s as ridiculous as me apologizing for slavery, since I had nothing to do with it. Today’s Germans had nothing to do with the horrors of WWII.

Are all blacks responsible for crimes committed by their ancestors?

Are all Jews?

They owe no apology for this because such guilt is not inherited. It is the same reason I owe no reparations for slavery. They are welcome to go piss on their grandfathers’ graves.

Shhhh...please don’t give them any ideas. ;-)

BTW, I think no-one should do this, even if his ancestor was a criminal.
After all, if he’s dead and was guilty of his misdeeds, he will already have faced a most awful judgement by the King of Kings Himself.

However, not all humans have the strength and power to forgive their tormentors, but I pray that He might give them all the strength in the universe they need for this endeavor.

Amen Amen Amen.
