4.+Doctors+Punishment+After+the+Holocaust

The doctors involved in harmful medical experimentation during the holocaust were punished, but the damage had already been done. In Nuremburg, Germany in 1946, the infamous "Doctors' Trial" began. The United Stated was accusing 23 Nazi doctors (22 males, 1 female) of "Murder, tortures, and other atrocities in the name of medical experimentation". Seven of the doctors were sentenced to death by hanging, nine sentenced to various prison time, and seven were found not guilty. The decisions were made by four American judges over the course of about eight months. (Rosenburg) (Rosenburg)
