During World War II, SS camp doctors at Auschwitz, such as Kremer, were not primarily medical practitioners but rather participated in selecting prisoners for execution, administering punishments, and managing bureaucratic tasks, while also witnessing and participating in experimental mass murders using poisonous gas as part of the Nazi T4 program that systematically exterminated individuals deemed 'unworthy of life,' including those with physical and mental disabilities.

Auschwitz Doctor Connected to Nazi Gas Experiments: Alfred Trzebinski #history #ww2 #shortsAdded:
At Auschwitz, Kremer officially held the position of camp doctor from July to November 1941.
As was typical in extermination camps, his role was not primarily focused on medical treatment, which was carried out by selected prisoners. Instead, he was involved in selecting prisoners for labor or execution, assisting with punishments, and managing bureaucratic tasks.
Kremer also participated in two experimental mass murders using poisonous gas.
In July 1941, he witnessed the gassing of 575 Polish prisoners from Auschwitz at Sonnenstein Castle in Pirna, in Germany.
This was part of the Nazi regime's T4 program, which aimed to exterminate those deemed unworthy of life, such as individuals with physical and mental disabilities.
