The Graduate Program in Jewish-Christian Studies (JCST) is offering an online Teachers Study Day, Anatomy and Medicine in the Nazi Period, on Microsoft Teams, from 9 a.m. to 12:15 p.m., on Monday, April 25, 2022. We invite educators and other interested individuals to attend the program, which is free.
Sabine Hildebrandt, MD is our guest speaker. She is Associate Professor of Pediatrics at Harvard Medical School and Harvard University. Her publications include The Anatomy of Murder: Ethical Transgression and Anatomical Science during the Third Reich and a biography of Jewish refugee physician Käthe Beutler.
Dr. Hildebrandt is co-editor of Recognizing the Past in the Present: Medicine before, during and after the Holocaust. She is also a member of the American Association for Anatomy Task Forces on Legacy Collections and the one on Structural Racism.
On April 25, Dr. Hildebrandt will present two workshops:
- “Introduction to the History of Medicine, Nazism and the Holocaust”
(from 9:15 a.m. to 10:40 a.m.); and - “From Routine to Murder – Anatomy in Nazi Germany and Its Legacies for Today” (from 11:00 a.m. to 12:15 p.m.)
This study day was developed for New Jersey teachers of Holocaust and Genocide Studies. It offers three Professional Development/Continuing Education Credit hours for educators. However, the study day is open to all those interested in the study of the Holocaust and Genocide.
