Table of ContentsPreface Introduction Chapter 1: An Overview of the Debate Chapter 2: Kant’s Conception of Dignity and How it Fails to Capture Survivors’ Claims of Harm Chapter 3: On Finding an Adequate Conception of Dignity Chapter 4: Trauma, the Self, and Controlling the Nazi Data Chapter 5: Nazi Data: Transparent, Evil, and Transparently Evil Chapter 6: Epistemic Injustice and the Survivors’ Claims to Moral Expertise BibliographyReviewsCarol V. A. Quinn's Dignity, Justice, and the Nazi Data Debate is a thoroughly researched, well-argued study of the ethical issues surrounding the use of data from Nazi medical experiments and other survivor experiences of the Holocaust. Quinn puts a human face to the human beings subjected to this trauma, among both the survivors and the ensuing generations. In this articulate investigation Quinn imposes a human dignity upon a dehumanizing notion of mere data by showing why the data matter. Her sense of ethical urgency is much needed in a time when good and evil have been relativized into nothing more than this narrative or that. Indeed, reading this book is itself an ethical imperative.--David Patterson, University of Texas at Dallas With great sensitivity but also moral passion and thoughtful research, Carol Quinn demands that we think more deeply about dignity and humanity. Her study of Nazi victims is highly original, examining cruelty, but also resilience, and her book challenges us to imbue our approach to the world with greater empathy.--Susannah Heschel, Dartmouth College With great sensitivity but also moral passion and thoughtful research, Carol Quinn demands that we think more deeply about dignity and humanity.
