File:Wladislava Karolewska scars from Nazi human experimentation.jpg

English: "A war crimes investigation photo of Wladislava Karolewska, a survivor from Ravensbrueck, who was subjected to medical experiments with sulphonamide drugs in 1942.

The experiments were conducted by Dr. Fritz Fischer, Prof. Karl Gebhardt, Dr. Stumpfegger and Ravensbrueck camp doctor, Herta Oberheuser. This photograph was entered as evidence for the prosecution at the Medical Trial in Nuremberg.

The disfiguring scars on the woman's right leg resulted from incisions made by medical personnel that were purposely infected with bacteria, dirt and slivers of glass, in order to simulate the combat wounds of German soldiers fighting in the war. The inflamed area was then treated with sulphonamide drugs. Many of the prisoners subjected to these treatments died from their wounds."
