Criminal Medicine: Pharmacological Experiments and Those Executed with the Use of Chemical Substances Carried out on Auschwitz Prisoners Helmuth Vetter and Friedrich Entress were responsible for pharmacological experiments undertaken in Auschwitz. Both of them tested the following: Be-1034. rutenol and 3582-rutenol in granules supplied by the pharmacological concerns (Bayer and I.G. Leverkusen). It was their task to test these medicaments according to guidelines supplied by the medical companies. In August 1941 experiments with chemicals were initiated in Auschwitz to test the efficiency of these chemicals in killing prisoners. Hydrogen dioxide, gasoline, hydrogen, barbituric acid and phenol were injected to prisoners. In effect of these injections about 30,000 prisoners were murdered.
