September 28, 1898 - Carl Clauberg
A trained gynecologist, he turned his medical expertise toward mass sterilization research on concentration camp prisoners, conducting experiments on hundreds of Jewish and Romani women without consent or anesthetic. His work at Auschwitz was part of a broader Nazi program aimed at developing efficient methods of large-scale sterilization. After the war, Soviet imprisonment and a prisoner exchange failed to end his career — he returned to West Germany and resumed medical practice before public pressure from survivors forced his arrest, though he died before facing trial.
From Wikipedia
Carl Clauberg (28 September 1898 – 9 August 1957) was a German gynecologist who conducted medical experiments on Jewish and Romani women at Auschwitz concentration camp. He worked with Horst Schumann in X-ray sterilization experiments at Auschwitz concentration camp.
In 1945, near the close of WWII, he was captured by the Red Army and sentenced to 25 years in prison. He was released in 1955 under a prisoner exchange agreement, and he returned to Germany and continued to practice medicine. Due to public outcry from Holocaust survivors, Clauberg was arrested in 1955, but died before he could be tried.
