procedural, <strong>and</strong> doctrinal origins of the mass murder of the 1940s. <strong>The</strong> Nuremberg Trials<br />

in Nazi Germany <strong>and</strong> the United States.<br />

<strong>The</strong> tie between Hitler <strong>and</strong> the eugenic psychiatrists was so close that much of Mein<br />

Kampf is literally indistinguishable in language <strong>and</strong> in tone from the major<br />

international journals <strong>and</strong> psychiatric textbooks of the time. To quote from a few of<br />

many such passages in Mein Kampf:<br />

"To dem<strong>and</strong> that defective people be prevented from propagating equally defective<br />

offspring is a dem<strong>and</strong> for the clearest reason <strong>and</strong>, if systematically executed,<br />

represents the most humane act of mankind ..."<br />

"Those who are physically <strong>and</strong> mentally unhealthy <strong>and</strong> unworthy must not<br />

perpetuate their ;suffering in the bodies of their children ..."<br />

"A prevention of the faculty <strong>and</strong> opportunity to procreate on the part of the physically<br />

degenerate <strong>and</strong> the mentally sick ... would not only free humanity from an<br />

immeasurable misfortune but would lead to a recovery which today seems scarcely<br />

conceivable."<br />

Hitler received support from psychiatrists <strong>and</strong> social scientists around the world after<br />

he took power. Many articles in the world's leading medical journals monitored <strong>and</strong> heaped<br />

praise on Hitler's eugenic legislation <strong>and</strong> policies.<br />

Records uncovered by Abrams at the hospital confirm that the extermination had begun as<br />

a part of a national psychiatric program before Hitler took on the systematic murder of<br />

the Jews. Hundreds of patients had been shipped off to psychiatric extermination centers<br />

prior to the end of 1941, when the national program was largely ab<strong>and</strong>oned <strong>and</strong> local state<br />

mental hospitals took over "the action" on their own.<br />

<strong>The</strong> psychiatric extermination program was not a hidden, secret shame of psychiatry - at<br />

least, not at the start. It was organized by leading professors of psychiatry <strong>and</strong> directors<br />

of mental hospitals through a series of national meetings <strong>and</strong> workshops. So-called<br />

euthanasia forms were circulated to individual hospitals, <strong>and</strong> final approval of each death<br />

was then given in Berlin by a committee of the nation's outst<strong>and</strong>ing psychiatrists. By<br />

January 1940 patients were being shipped to six special extermination centers staffed by<br />

psychiatrists.<br />

In late 1941, public outrage <strong>and</strong> lack of enthusiasm from Hitler pushed the program<br />

underground, but between 100,000 <strong>and</strong> 200,000 German mental patients had been<br />

killed. From then on, individual institutions, such as that at Kaufbeuren, continued to act on<br />

their own, even admitting new patients for the purpose of murdering them. At the end of the<br />

war, many large institutions were entirely empty, <strong>and</strong> estimates from various war-crime<br />

tribunals, including Nuremberg, estimate the number of dead to be between 250,000 <strong>and</strong><br />

300,000, mostly inmates of psychiatric hospitals <strong>and</strong> homes for the retarded...<br />

Psychiatrist Frederic Wertham, by no means a radical critic of his profession, deserves<br />

the credit for being the first to describe the role of psychiatry in Nazi Germany: ...<br />
