Holocaust and Medicine Legacy for Medical Education and Practice: A Holocaust Survivor’s Daughter Teaches German Medical Students at Auschwitz

Through lenses of medical educator and daughter of a Holocaust survivor, Dr. Hedy Wald shares her recent experience of using the humanities to teach medical students at the Witten-Herdecke Faculty of Health in Germany about medical ethics and support morally resilient professional identity formation through reflecting on medicine’s role within the Holocaust.   Dr. Wald’s presentation confronts and reflects upon the egregious ethical violations of physicians and the medical establishment in Germany and Austria during the Third Reich.
