Description
How did a respected psychiatrist become a key player in the Nazi ‘euthanasia’ crimes? This biography reconstructs the career of Hermann Paul Nitsche and explores the radicalisation of German psychiatry in the first half of the 20th century.
It follows Nitsche’s career as he rose to a leading position within Nazi psychiatry, situating his actions within a tightly interwoven medical network that included Ernst Rüdin, Carl Schneider and Hans Heinze. This is the story of a perpetrator who claimed to be reforming psychiatry but became deeply involved in the Nazi system of terror — without ever showing regret.
