August 15, 1905 - Joachim Mrugowsky
Mrugowsky occupied a position where scientific credentials and institutional authority gave lethal experiments an air of bureaucratic legitimacy. As chief of the Waffen-SS Hygiene Institute, he directed and oversaw medical procedures on concentration camp prisoners that had no therapeutic purpose, using human beings as test subjects under conditions they could not refuse. He was convicted at the Nuremberg Doctors' Trial and executed in 1948.
