Psychiatry behind the Holocaust
Good German doctors provided both the theory and the techniques for Hitler's extermination of the Jews: they murdered hundreds of thousands of mental patients BEFORE the Nazis built the death camps.
Most of us have wondered, "How could the Germans have murdered millions of Jews in such a callous and systematic fashion?" We have read what the history books and the popularised best-sellers have said about the German mentality and Hitler's rise to power but somehow a piece of the puzzle has been missing. We have continued to ask ourselves "What went on that permitted such ghastly, inhuman practices?
As a psychiatrist, I was astounded and shocked when I came upon the missing piece of the puzzle. German psychiatry played the single most important rule in developing the ideology and practice of mass sterilization and mass murder. Without the support of English and American psychiatry, Hitler's racial programs might never have become so acceptable, and without the active efforts of German psychiatry, the extermination program would never have got off the ground.
German psychiatry was responsible for developing the idea of mass sterilization and mass murder, and German psychiatry systematically murdered 100,000 or more patients as a prelude to Hitler's extermination program - everything from the first extermination centres to the gas chambers and crematoriums. German psychiatry actually carried out the first wide-scale murder of the Jews and then trained the SS killers who later took over the task from them.
