A Tainted Classic Anatomy Text Draws Criticism By Rich McManus A working group of intramural scientists has convened to decide the fate of an anatomy textbook -- originally published in 1943 and available in the NIH Library and National Library of Medicine -- written by a Nazi physician and, critics contend, based on data gleaned from Holocaust victims.
The two-volume Pernkopf Anatomy, Atlas of Topographic and Applied Human
Anatomy by Dr. Eduard Pernkopf has been reprinted several times (the NIH
Library has the 1964 and 1989 editions, translated in English from the original
German) and has been recognized as a classic in the field. But during a lecture at
the Holocaust Museum in Washington, D.C., last spring, two NIH physicians
were outraged to learn of grim complicity with evil on the part of German doctors,
including the renowned Pernkopf.
Campus Improvements To Affect Parking, Future Crunch Seen The planning, design and construction teams of the Division of Engineering Services within the Office of Research Services are making long anticipated -- and needed -- projects a reality for NIH. Projects to improve campus infrastructure, construction associated with Bldg. 10 and the future Clinical Research Center, and a new Consolidated Laboratory Facility are in the works. The impact of these projects will be felt by NIH employees and visitors driving and parking on the Bethesda campus over the next several months and years. | |||
