Psychiatrist implicated in Nazi crimes dies aged 90

Heinrich Gross, a psychiatrist who worked at a clinic where the Nazis killed and conducted cruel experiments on thousands of children, died on December 15, his family announced yesterday. He was 90.

Gross, who was implicated in nine deaths as part of a Nazi plot to eliminate "worthless lives", had avoided trial in March after a court ruled he was suffering from severe dementia. No cause of death was given.

Gross was a leading doctor in Vienna's infamous Am Spiegelgrund clinic. Historians and survivors of the clinic had accused him of killing or taking part in the clinic's experiments on thousands of children deemed to be physically, mentally or otherwise unfit for Adolf Hitler's vision of a perfect world. Gross, who proclaimed his innocence for decades, had insisted he was not present at the time in the 1940s when most of the children were killed.

"I was always against euthanasia," he told the magazine News in 2000. "I never sped up anyone's death, nor did I assign anyone to do so."

I am glad he is gone.

Bastard.

:grr:

Hey, maybe he WASN'T there. Maybe he just tortured the children, then left :puke:

fuck him

For all those who defend the Pope's participation

Austria as a nation really needs to come clean about all the Nazi's they have harbored and nurtured over the years

Much like those US doctors who provided help with torture methods.
