Auschwitz. Medicine of the Third Reich and Its Victims, Krakow 2009, second edition is one of the most shocking monographs ever written concerning Nazi crimes. Ernst Klee, German theologian and social pedagogue, recorded in it detailed descriptions of experiments conducted on human beings which were illustrated with horrifying photographs (for example, of cut-off children’s heads placed in laboratory jars). He made use of a very rich source material and analyzed it so thoroughly that it is impossible to undermine his conclusions. Not only a monstrosity of the crimes committed in the name of medicine is shocking but also the fact that their perpetrators were scientists and doctors possessing established authority and undeniable achievements. Ernst Klee describes a number of pseudo-medical experiments, like applying hunger, using phenol, evoking typhoid fever, mass sterilization and experiments on twins. While analyzing the valuable monograph of E. Klee, I indicated Polish literature on the subject of pseudo-medical research and experiments. In reference to E. Klee’s monograph I formulated the following reflections: history of pseudo-medical experiments needs further scholarly, specialized investigations; it is worthwhile to accentuate significant achievements of Polish science that documented pseudo-medical experiments; it is necessary to attempt to fully explain the nature of compounds and specimens applied during pseudo-medical experiments; the interdisciplinary — medical and humanistic — character of research on the history of pseudomedical experiments is justified; interdisciplinary scientific research provides an opportunity for the further development of scholarly studies of Hitlerite crimes.

The article describes the fiction of law in the Third Reich using the example of a certain trial in Dresden. The case was brought against the activists of the Polish underground movement called Kuyavian Literary-Political Association/Kuyavian Social-Literary Association. This organization was one of the first underground and pro-independence organizations in Poland at the time of the Hitlerite occupation; its reach encompassed Eastern Kuyavian region and the city of Wloclawek. It was a civil organization which did not have a military character. It had been active until the beginning of 1941 when the arrests happened. About 140 people were incarcerated; the scope of the arrests was widening as long as the Nazi investigation continued. The trial of organization’s members, which took place in Dresden in October of 1942, did not at all resemble a process of seeking justice. The proceedings were in clear violation of the rule of law. The arrests warrants were issued against arrestees after they had been locked up for almost a year in camps or prisons. Such procedure obviously infringed upon the fundamental legal principle of lex retro non agit. The conspirators’ activity was categorized as a state treason in the light of criminal law for Poles and Jews. The sentences delivered against organization’s members were extremely severe. The court ordered either the capital punishment (by guillotine) or imprisonment for a period of over 10 years. Prosecutors and judges simply became servile executors of recommendations issued by the totalitarian state of Adolf Hitler.

The article presents the evolution of philosophical anthropology – a new philosophical discipline which originated in Germany in the interwar period. After taking over the power by Hitler, some of the anthropologists were forced to emigrate, while the rest of them stayed in the country and began collaborating with the new government. Erich Rothacker and Arnold Gehlen are the examples of various ways of involvement in Nazi politics. Both thinkers not only occupied high positions at the universities and in national organizations but also promoted the ideology in their texts.

The essay looks at how the historiography of some of our former 'Western colleagues' dealt with the questions of the Holocaust in the framework of the several sub-contexts of the Second World War, such as the settlement policy of the Third Reich in Eastern Europe, the process of implementing orders on the level of higher and lower military commanders and its influence on the implementation of the 'final solution' or the influence of economic and ideological factors on the 'final solution'. The article describes various currents and trends in the historiography of the holocaust with the aim of pointing to perspectives and levels not considered by Slovak historiography up to now.

This study is devoted to the special features of the ethnographic research of German speaking lumberjacks – huncokars (pronounced hoont-so-cars) which took place from the 1920s to the 1940s and was conducted by researchers working in German and Sudeten German ethnographic organizations. At that time, the lay and expert public were increasingly interested in the living conditions, customs and traditions and culture of the German population that lived beyond the borders of the Weimar Republic and later the Third Reich. The huncokars were particularly interesting for researchers because of the fact that they lived apart from the majority (Slovak) population in forested regions of western Slovakia. They were an endogamous and ethnically closed community. The main goal of my study is to identify and analyse the most frequent topics of German and Sudeten German research related to the huncokar population.
