About This Book

This book is the story of the emergence of Nazi medicine, the refugees who were expelled from Germany, and the receipt of a handful of Jewish medical refugees who managed to reach Sweden. Because of forced sterilization, euthanasia, and the Holocaust, German medical values changed. Almost half of German doctors became party members and those who were Jews or politically undesirable faced marginalization, dismissals, arrests, exile, suicide, or deportation to concentration camps. Fifty medical refugees came to Sweden and met many who sought to help them, but they also encountered incomprehension and rejection. The refugees became a point of contention for the Medical Board and the Medical Association led the medical surplus efforts for their opposition. Most of the refugees ended up in long-term unemployment. Integration didn't begin until the latter part of the war.
