What experiments the Nazis do on homosexuals?

Answer 1

There is little evidence to educate us of the true extent of the experiments which homosexuals were subject to in concentration camps in WW2. This is due, in part, to the legal sanctions on homosexuality both during the war years and up until 1994 in Germany. In essence, it remained illegal until 1969, with further limitations on this up until 1994. Therefore, while the rest of the people in the concentration camps were liberated by the allied forces, many homosexuals were rearrested and sent back into custody to carry out the rest of their sentence based on evidence found during the war years.

Moreover, the German government did not formally apologise for the treatment of homosexuals during the third Reich period until 2002. With these contributing factors, many gay people were too scared to speak out about about their treatment in the concentration camps for fear of implicating themselves further.

However, the few people who have bravely spoken about their terrible and inhumane treatment, makes for a chilling read. Homosexuals were the lowest of the low within the concentration camps and as such were not only persecuted by their Nazi captors, but also their fellow inmates within the camp. The medical experiments that were reported were mainly based around trying to change their sexuality - from homosexuality to heterosexuality These experiments or 'treatments' included compulsory visits to the brothel which was 'staffed' by females from other camps. This was apparently one of Himmler's ideas; his rational behind this being: that once they knew what they are missing by not sleeping with a woman, they will turn heterosexual Also, homosexuals who agreed to castration, and whose conduct was good, would be released from the camp. Indeed, many agreed to this as their ticket out if the appalling conditions in the camp. The reality, however, was that these men were sent to SS Dirlewanger penal division on the Russian front, and many of whom were butchered in the partisan war.

As discussed above, the true extent of the suffering and persecution of homosexuals during the Nazi years many never really be known. However, it is a pertinent aspect of WW2 that must never be forgotten.

Answer 2

Well only twins was experimented on, Jews who hasn't got a twin was killed if they were children ,if they were adults they put them in concentration camps. This was so because the Nazi doctors such as the Doctor at Auschwitz, took twin adults and twin children to do experiaments such as needle injections and gassing, so if one child got ill, either they just let the child die or suffer or try to cure it.
