Best Answer

Freezing/Hypothermia-"patients" were subjected to negative temperatures and put in icy vats of water (both while naked), and then attempts were made at revival. few were effective.

Genetics-

One of the most famous doctors involved in the genetic experiments was Joseph Mengele, also known as the angel of death. he took a special interest in twins, and did experiments on them that included sewing a pair of twins together in the attempt to make "Siamese twins". other experiments were conducted on dwarfs and homosexuals as well, such as trying to turn the homosexuals straight. those experiments failed.

Infectious Diseases-

Prisoners were infected with diseases such as malaria because the Nazis wanted to find cures.

Killing/Genocide-

A good number of the experiments conducted on prisoners were just to have an excuse to kill them. High Altitude, Pharmalogical, Sterilization, Surgery and Traumatic Injuries.

Because they were persecuted because of their religion/ ethicity first by the Russians with their Pogroms and later by the Germans in the 1930's. The Germans brutally murdered 6 million Jews during WW2. Very few Germans paid the price for what they had done. Most Germans viewed Jews as being a lower form of humanity much like animals.
