Julius Hallervorden, a distinguished German neuropathologist, admitted on several occasions that he had received some five hundred brains of "euthanasia" victims from the Nazi killing centres for the insane. He investigated the brains in the summer of 1942; however, their traces were subsequently lost. The present study shows, that the Series H, which was part of the Hallervorden collection of brain sections in the Max Planck Institute for Brain Research, comprises the brain sections of the above mentioned five hundred euthanasia victims. The provenance of 105 patients could be reconstructed and 84 are for sure euthanasia victims. Most of them were killed in Bernburg or in Sonnenstein-Pirna. Hallervorden used the brain sections of Series H until 1956 for his studies and never publicly regretted this abuse of the brains of euthanasia victims.
尤利乌斯·哈勒沃登是一位杰出的德国神经病理学家，他曾多次承认，自己从纳粹针对精神病患者的杀戮中心收到了约五百具“安乐死”受害者的大脑。1942年夏天，他对这些大脑进行了研究；然而，这些大脑随后便踪迹全无。目前的研究表明，马克斯·普朗克脑研究所哈勒沃登脑切片收藏中的H系列，包含上述五百名安乐死受害者的脑切片。其中105名患者的来源能够被追溯，确定有84人是安乐死受害者。他们中的大多数人在伯恩堡或松嫩施泰因-皮尔纳被杀害。哈勒沃登在1956年之前一直使用H系列的脑切片进行研究，且从未公开对这种滥用安乐死受害者大脑的行为表示过悔恨。
