Holocaust Medical Experiments

The horror and suffering imposed on the Jews, by the Nazi Third Reich has been extremely well documented since the end of the second World War just as with most aspects of the Holocaust phenomenon. The way the Jewish people, along with homosexuals, gypsies and others, not fitting the Nazi criteria, was nothing short of evil.
