Some more facts on the holocaust are that. Holocaust Remembrance Day marks the liberation of the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camps in 1945. Jewish people were excluded from public life on September 15th, 1935 when the Nuremberg Laws were issued. These laws also stripped German Jews of their citizenship and their right to marry Germans. This then led to the Jews and other races being sent to concentration or even the death camps that were created.

Over the course of three months in 1943 and 1944, experiments were conducted on inmates at Buchenwald concentration camp to test the effectiveness of pharmaceutical remedies on phosphorus burns inflicted by incendiary bombs. Subjects were purposely burned with phosphorus matter from those bombs, which was severely painful. The inmates were seriously injured by these experiments.

Experiments on prisoners at Ravensbruck concentration camp tested the efficacy of sulfonamides(aka sulfa drugs). Subjects were deliberately wounded on the outer side of their calves. Physicians then rubbed a mixture of bacteria into the open wounds before sewing them shut. Glass splinters were also introduced into the wounds to mimic the situation in battles.However, this method proved to be too mild in comparison to conditions on the front lines. To simulate gunshot wounds, blood vessels were tied up on both sides to stop circulation. The subjects were then given sulfa drugs. Despite the advances these experiments made in the scientific and pharmaceutical fields, those inmates suffered horrible pain which resulted in permanent injury or even death.

From July 1944 to September 1944, experiments were conducted at the Dachau concentration camp to study the viability of making sea water drinkable. The subjects were deprived of all food and given only chemically processed sea water. The experiments caused great pain and suffering, resulting in extreme dehydration and organ failure.

"Hatikvah" directly translates to "the hope" and was Israel's national anthem. This wasn't directly related to the experiments, but gave hope to anyone who were stuck in these camps.

Experiments were conducted at the Buchenwald concentration camp to test the effects of chemical poisons on humans. The poison was administered to subjects in their food. Most victims died quickly, or were killed so their organs could be examined postmortem. Beginning in September 1944, subjects were shot with poison-laced bullets to test their effect on humans. Most died as a result of the poison or from the wounds.

From March 1942 to August 1942, experiments were conducted at the Dachau concentration camp, for the benefit of the German Air Force, to investigate the limits of human endurance and existence at extremely high altitudes.The experiments were carried out in a low-pressure chamber in which atmospheric conditions at high altitude (up to 68,000 feet) could be duplicated.The experimental subjects were placed in the low-pressure chamber and thereafter the simulated altitude therein was raised. Most victims died as a result, and many of the survivors suffered injury related to exposure to extreme atmospheric conditions.

From about March 1941 to about January 1945 sterilization experiments were conducted at the Auschwitz and Ravensbrueck concentration camps, and other places. The purpose of these experiments was to develop a method of sterilization which would be suitable for sterilizing millions of people with a minimum of time and effort. These experiments were conducted by means of X-ray, surgery, and various drugs. Thousands of victims were sterilized and thereby suffered great mental and physical anguish.

Sections of bones, muscles, and nerves were removed from subjects and implanted in others. As a result of the operations, many victims suffered intense agony, mutilation, and permanent disability if not death.  are charged with special responsibility for and participation in these crimes.

Dr. Sigmund Rascher conducted blood coagulation experiments on inmates at Dachau concentration camp. He had created a tablet, Polygal, which was made from beet and apple pectin. He believed that these tablets could help stop the bleeding from wounds in combat or surgery.Each of his subjects was given a tablet and then shot in the neck or chest to test the efficacy of Polygal. Later on, those inmates would have their limbs amputated  without any use of anesthesia. Dr. Rascher went on to establish a manufacturing company for the tablets with inmates as workers.

There was also some interest in doing other experiments on anyone who had some sort of disability. Anyone who was considered "different" was a candidate for these tests.

Heinrich Himmler suggested to Dr.  Rascher that he try to use women to warm the frozen men. He suggested that the victim and a women copulate. This perverted experiment occurred with some success. However it was not as successful as the Warm Bath.

The victims were placed under sun lamps which were so hot they would burn the skin.  One young homosexual victim was repeatedly cooled to unconsciousness then revived with lamps until he was pouring sweat. He died one evening after several test sessions.

After they froze the subjects they heated water up to an intolerable temperature and forcefully irrigated it into the stomach, bladder, and intestines. All victims were dead after this.

This is just as bad as it sounds. Similar to the freezing/hypothermia tests, they did the same thing with hot baths. They wanted to heat up the bodies until they died in hope that they would find some way to restore them back to life later on.

Women were experimented on in a bunch of the concentration camps. Their reproductive organs were cut, had instruments on them, and had gotten shots in them. For the women that had their organs messed with, and caused them to be very emotional. If they survived, their life was basically ruined from that point on.

Twin Holocaust survivors describe arriving at Auschwitz

One survivor, Ms. B, had her reproductive parts experimented on. The Nazi doctors did cuts on her uterus and left her not able to have children. When her husband found out this devastating news, he divorced her. When Ms. B tried to help her sister, she got beaten across her face and her ears bled out and got infected. As of her personal statement, she is now 100% deaf in her right ear and 80% deaf in her left ear. Another survivor, Ms. A had an experiment done in her uterus in which she was given shots and had faints from severe pain for a year and a half. A couple years later when she went to an OBGYN, he said that her uterus had become the uterus of a four year old girl and her ovaries shrank. The experiments conducted on these women effected there lives forever.

These experiments were done to figure out how long it would take to lower body temperature to death and how to best resurrect the frozen victim. Two of the main methods of freezing the body was to put the victim on an icy vat of water and to strap the victim to a stretcher outside naked in ridiculously cold temperatures. The icy vat was usually the faster method. The people were also put into tanks of ice water for as long as three hours. The victims were young healthy Russians or young healthy Jewish people.  Most people died at the low body temperature of 25 degrees Celsius. You'll find they did the same thing with heating them.

Dr. Mengele was a notorious doctor from Auschwitz that conducted multiple experiments on people, including twins. He forced 3,000 twins to be his subjects of his gruesome mutilations and surgeries. First he made sure he measured every single part of their bodies. After that, he either injected one twin with an anonymous substance or put them through pain to see if the other twin would react. This was only one category of the inhumane experiments done during the Holocaust.

The holocaust was a extermination attempt of the Germans during World War 2. It consisted of disgusting things such as, gas chambers, slave labor, abuse, and experiments. The experiments were made more popular by Dr. Josef Mengele. He was mostly known for his horrific experiments done on children with genetic features. This included twins, dwarfs and other things. These experiments were mainly done on children but have happened to adults also.
