The thread on the murder of very sick patients by a doctor in New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina brought to mind physician I had the opportunity to hear speak about ten years ago, Dr. Michael J. Franzblau. He is a dermatologist who has become a medical historian, specializing in the history of medicine in Nazi Germany.

Dr. Franzblau witnessed the deadly results of medicine as practiced in Nazi Germany. He has made it his mission to raise awareness in the medical community that medical practitioners are in danger of repeating the past. Did you know that the profession that had the most members in the Nazi party was the medical profession?

“His current focus is the campaign to bring to justice Dr. Hans Joachim Sewering, a Nazi doctor who allegedly murdered hundreds of disabled Catholic children during WWII. Dr. Franzblau’s website – www.badnazidoctor.com – contains information and news related to this ongoing effort.”

Anyone wanting to learn about the deadly results of the slippery slope in medicine should read the books, articles, and interviews by and about Dr. Michael J. Franzblau.
 
Courtneyo, Thank you for your post. In light of all the bad news I want to share with you this story, “Midwife at Auschwitz: The story of Stanislawa Leczynska” which was posted on Catholicinsight.com. Despite all the horror of the Nazi era and its parallels today the beauty of the human spirit surpasses all the evil. What does scripture say? Wherever evil prevails grace flows ever more abundantly. Sometimes we need to remind ourselves that the deeper the darkness the further our light will shine.

It certainly did in the concentration camp as the remarkable history of the little Polish midwife illustrates and no doubt there will be many inspiring stories of the triumph of faith, hope and love - post hurricane Katrina.
