Produktbeschreibung
The biographies of Günther Just, Heinrich Poll and Fritz Steiniger stand for the wide range of topics and attitudes in German genetic research before and during the Nazi period. H. Poll was a medical professor of Jewish descent, head of the Institute of Anatomy and dean of the Hamburg medical faculty. He was forced to retire in 1933. In contrast to G. Just and F. Steiniger he conducted racial research. His PhD student, the zoologist G. Just, headed both the Institute of Genetic Research in Greifswald and a genetic department in the “Reichsgesundheitsamt” in Berlin. G. Just tried to pro- mote voluntary eugenics from 1925 to 1933, but then left this topic and turned to social anthropo- logy comparing individual school performance to professional performance. Natural philosophy, holism and religious vitalism dominated his thoughts. G. Just’s career was not entirely straightforward, because he rejected racism and other ideologies of the time. This was also true for his pupil F. Steiniger, who was a field zoologist and ornithologist commanded to establish an institute for eradication of lice in the occupied town of Riga in Estonia during World War II.
