Abstract

Research is now important to nursing’s evidence-based practice, but research by nurses was questionable in Nazi Germany. One presentation discusses one of the first nurses in the world to attain a PhD - Eva Justin. Justin studied Sinti children at a children’s home in Mulfingen. Contrary to the tenets of objective science, she set out to prove that the children were racially inferior. There was no informed consent, and the children went to Auschwitz after the experiments. Justin was supported by senior Nazis, supervised by Nazi “scientists” and examined by committed Nazis.
