Transported

Nearly two million people, mostly Polish Jews, were transported for murder to Chelmno and to Sobibor, Treblinka, and Belzec (isolated SS camps in annexed and occupied Poland) where people who took place in the original "mercy killings" manned the mass gassing installations and crematoria. At Auschwitz, more than one million Jews deported from German-controlled countries perished. Nazi doctors selected “fitter” adults for forced labor, and used both adults and children as exparaments in eugenic sterilization projects and genetic research conducted at the camp.

After the war, few of the biomedical experts who helped, in varying degrees, implement and legitimize Nazi racial hygiene policies were ever indicted or brought to a moral accounting of any kind for their actions. Many continued their professional careers.
