Anatomy- on the edge of culture Appendix: Tables 1-6 IndexReviewsBased on her research in archives in Europe and North America, Hildebrandt offers a learned and well-rounded account of the manifold facets of the field, including a discussion of the ethical transgressions of coerced human-subject research, the killing of concentration camp prisoners and inmates of mental asylums, and the compilation, uses, and application of knowledge within the most inhumane contexts... an important and eye-opening book that will become standard literature for Holocaust studies programs, as well as for courses on medical ethics and the history of medicine and science during the twentieth century. * Central European History With this book Sabine Hildebrandt submits an important piece of work to the public, a work that is always absorbing, and needs to be taken very, very seriously. It truly presents a milestone in the research and reappraisal of one of the darkest chapters in the history of medicine. On the basis of thorough new research and a meticulous collection of existing data, it analyzes concisely, objectively, and consistently the position and development of the medical discipline of anatomy during the Third Reich...It would be more than appropriate to include this important book as a standard text in the medical curriculum on the history of medicine. Also, this work can be recommended warmly and without reservations to the general public. * Annals of Anatomy This important and well-written... book is the first comprehensive treatise to tackle the daunting and controversial topic of human atrocities that occurred in Germany during World War II from the perspective of the anatomists and their respective institutions. Much of the information presented in the book is from recently acquired data... This book will appeal not only to those involved in anatomy but to any person interested in gaining insight into the relationship between anatomists and the NS government during the Third Reich. * Clinical Anatomy This study is written with considerable knowledge, energy, and engagement. It contains much that is fresh and new in terms of research and has the advantage of an insider's understanding: the author deploys her expertise as a practitioner-historian to good effect. * Paul Weindling, Oxford Brookes University Like many other professions, the discipline of anatomy has, in terms of its history with National Socialism, been characterized by dereliction, denial, and duplicity. Sabine Hildebrandt carefully distinguishes between fact and apparent fiction in this first definitive history of the science and practice of anatomy in Nazi Germany. It is comprehensive and fully documented, carefully placing its findings in the context of previous research. * Geoffrey Cocks, Albion College This important and well-written... book is the first comprehensive treatise to tackle the daunting and controversial topic of human atrocities that occurred in Germany during World War II from the perspective of the anatomists and their respective institutions. Much of the information presented in the book is from recently acquired data... This book will appeal not only to those involved in anatomy but to any person interested in gaining insight into the relationship between anatomists and the NS government during the Third Reich. - Clinical Anatomy Author InformationSabine Hildebrandt is an Assistant Professor in the Division of General Pediatrics, Department of Medicine, at Boston Children's Hospital and a Lecturer on Global Health and Social Medicine at Harvard Medical School.
