Josef Mengele's research program on noma in Auschwitz

Noma research protocol was conducted in the Auschwitz Birkernau camp by the infamous (Schutzstaffel) SS doctor Josef Mengele who was known as "the Angel of Death" in close collaboration with researchers at the Kaiser-Wilhelm Institute in Berlin Crimes. Mengele who held the post of camp doctor in the "Gypsy camp" saw an opportunity to set up a research program on gypsy children called "Nomaprojekt". The purpose of this program was to study the causes of noma and to find treatment methods. The experimental treatment protocol consisted of administering a combination of sulfanilamido-ethyl thiodiazole and nicotinic acid. Heads and selected body parts of children suffering from noma were prepared in formaldehyde jars and sent to researchers at the prestigious Kaiser-Wilhelm Institute for Anthropology, Human Heredity and Eugenics in Berlin-Dahlem, but also to the SS Medical Academy in Graz to carry out further examinations. The experimental protocol for the treatment of noma among Gypsy children is one of the most horrific crimes that Dr. Josef Mengele committed in the Auschwitz camp.
