Abstract

[Extract] While the previous chapter described the structure of nursing in Nazi Germany, this chapter focuses on psychiatric nursing. This is important because most of the murders were carried out in psychiatric hospitals. The chapter gives an overview of the context and background in which psychiatric nurses worked, describes the way psychiatric nurses were educated and how the specialty was affected by the Nazi laws and philosophies, and concludes with a case study of nurses at one psychiatric hospital, Hadamar, which was one of the main killing centers.
