Holocaust Museum Houston presents the lecture Doctors from Hell: The Horrific Account of Nazi Experiments on Humans.

Speaker: Vivien Spitz (pictured).

Vivien Spitz is the author of "Doctors from Hell: The Horrific Account of Nazi Experiments on Humans." Recruited as a court reporter in 1946 by the U.S. War Department, she reported on the proceedings at the Nuremberg War Crimes Trials in Germany. At this free public lecture, she will give an eyewitness account of her experience in post-war Nuremberg while working on the war crimes trial of Nazi doctors. She will recount the chilling story of human depravity, the dramatic testimony and the reactions of the defendants to the proceedings.

This landmark trial resulted in the establishment of the Nuremberg Code, which set the guidelines for medical research involving human beings.
