Event Summary:
During the Nazism, a relationship was established between antisemitism, racism, and sexism. The doctors affiliated with the regime, in accordance with the ideology of racial purity preservation, used abortions and sterilization as a means to follow the official directive of a genocidal program. In the field of gynecology, studies were sponsored by the regime for ideological or military reasons; others were driven by the scientific interest of some doctors.
