pressure, tested out new theories and provided new information while encountering
different variables within the experiments.

This is a collection of primary sources. Within this book, there are many stories of first
hand accounts from children taken into the hands of Nazis. This book covers the topic of
"Exchange" primarily because of the comparison between children.

Secondary Sources:
Baumslag, Naomi, M.D. Murderous Medicine. Westport, CT: Praeger, 2005.
This book documents the plans of Nazi doctors in order to further Jewish genocide. This
is mainly to explain how the disease Typhus was a large tragedy being experimented on
during this time. Nazi doctors were looking to eradicate it fully from the concentration
camps. This is a secondary source that mainly covers the topic of exploring new things.
In the end, Nazi doctors did not cure one type of disease or produce one single medical
discovery.
Caplan, Arthur L., ed. When Medicine Went Mad. Totowa, NJ: Humana Press, 1992.
I used this excerpt to learn about the experiments that took place at the concentration
camp of Auschwitz-Birkenau. Dr. Mengele, one of the most infamous experimenters of
the time, studied the patients there. This primary source covers all three topics as it talks
about exploring the tragedies of Mengele, encountering new diseases and symptoms, as
well as exchanging data, feelings and medicine.

This is a biography about one of the most infamous doctors of the Holocaust. Josef
Mengele was mainly interested in twins, and gained the nickname "Angel of Death"
because of his experiments. This article covers the topic of Exploration.
Moreno, Jonathan D. Undue Risk. New York: W.H. Freeman and Company, 1999.
Following the Holocaust, the Nuremberg Trials were held. Twenty-three Nazi doctors
were being persecuted for conspiracy, war crimes, and crimes against humanity among
other things. The theme of Exchange was shown through this source as persecutors
gathered evidence against the Nazi's and fought to punish them for their wrong-doings
during the Holocaust.
