Medicine in Genocide

How doctors and administrators took part in killing.

Expertise without humanity became machinery.

Simple version

Action T4 involved medical professionals, paperwork, assessment and administration.

Why it matters

That is what makes it terrifying. The violence was organised through systems that looked official.

Awareverse lens

Awareverse remembers that professional status never excuses dehumanisation.

Question to ask

When looking at medicine in genocide, ask: who had power, who was being labelled, and what would have changed if the human being had been seen first?
