Nurses in Nazi Germany - Bronwyn McFarland-Icke - Holocaust & Medical Ethics

Nurses in Nazi Germany: Moral Choice in History by Bronwyn Rebekah McFarland-Icke.

A detailed academic study of psychiatric nurses in Nazi Germany and the moral choices faced by healthcare professionals under National Socialism.

The book examines how nurses became involved, directly or indirectly, in the Nazi "euthanasia" programme targeting psychiatric patients and people with disabilities.

Drawing on personnel records, trial testimony, nursing journals and contemporary training materials, McFarland-Icke explores why some nurses participated willingly, others complied reluctantly, and some refused.

Rather than offering a general history of Nazi Germany, this is a focused examination of psychiatric nursing, medical ethics, institutional pressure and individual responsibility.

Of particular interest to students, researchers and readers of Holocaust history, Nazi Germany, nursing history, the history of medicine and medical ethics.
