German medicine, under National Socialism, was broadly complicit in the conceptualization and promulgation of the Nazi social and racial policies, and as such, played an integral and pertinent role in the Nazi implementation of the tragedies during the Holocaust. Much of contemporary ethics can be seen as a response to the abuses of this era. Hence for medicine in general and medical research in particular, the Holocaust is the seminal event of the 20th century in the historiography of its ethics. Bioethicists have expounded on the moral lessons to be learned from the Nuremberg Trials. Ethical challenges, other than those relating to human experimentation, which have continuing relevance were not addressed at Nuremberg and shall be presented in this paper. Organized efforts to educate about the ethos of medicine in this historical context should be imperative for all medical students and students of other healthcare professions.
在纳粹统治下，德国医学在很大程度上参与了纳粹社会和种族政策的概念化与宣传，因此在纳粹实施大屠杀悲剧的过程中扮演了不可或缺且至关重要的角色。当代伦理学的许多内容都可被视为对这一时期暴行的回应。因此，对于一般医学尤其是医学研究而言，大屠杀是20世纪医学伦理史学中的开创性事件。生物伦理学家已经阐述了从纽伦堡审判中应吸取的道德教训。除了与人体实验相关的挑战外，纽伦堡审判并未涉及其他具有持续相关性的伦理挑战，本文将对此进行阐述。在这一历史背景下，为所有医学生和其他医疗专业的学生开展关于医学精神的教育活动应成为当务之急。
