30 January 1933 marked the rise of Adolf Hitler—and the beginning of a system where medicine was twisted into a tool of ideology and terror. Among the doctors who served the regime was Alfred Trzebinski, a physician who became involved in the machinery of Nazi camps.
From Auschwitz to Majdanek and Neuengamme, Trzebinski took part in selections, medical oversight, and experiments carried out on prisoners without consent. His role became most infamous in connection with the deaths of 20 Jewish children at Bullenhuser Damm in April 1945, a crime meant to erase evidence of earlier experiments.
After the war, Trzebinski was captured, tried by a British military court, and held accountable for his actions.
