	Kaiser Wilhelm Institute - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Kaiser Wilhelm Institute (in German Kaiser-Wilhelm-Gesellschaft) was the name of a number of scientific institutes in Germany before World War II.
		Founded on January 11, 1911 by Prussian Secretary of Cultural Affairs, August von Trott zu Solz, and funded by public subscription, the institute was intended to further Prussian prestige as a research establishment independent both of universities and the state.
		However, several of the biomedical institutes achieved infamy through their participation in National Socialist (Nazi) racial science, particularly in the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute of Anthropology, Human Heredity, and Eugenics.

		Several of the projects which were successful by the end of the war in 1945 dealt with the development of alloys of raw materials available inside German and occupied territories, the non-destructive materials testing in the aeronautics industry, and the development of measurement gauges used to detect mines for the German Navy.

	The History of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Medical Research: 1929-1939
		During the 1930s, the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Medical Research (KWImF) was one of the most dynamic scientific research laboratories in all of Germany.
		The Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Medical Research was founded in 1929 at the height of one of Germany's most dynamic periods of scientific development.
		Their investment was paid back almost immediately as scientists at the Institute played a central role in the development of modern biochemistry during the 1930s.

		However, since the resources available to the Kaiser-Wilhelm-Society at that time sufficed only for the Institute of Chemistry, this second foundation was only made possible thanks to a generous endowment from Leopold Koppel, a wealthy industrialist and banker.
		The management of the Institute was handled without bureaucracy by the secretariat of the Director.
		Haber's personality and his previous scientific achievements were particularly appropriate for a leader of this new institute which aimed through fundamental research in the field of physical chemistry, to give new momentum to the development of the German chemical industry, which was even at that time regarded as a world leader.

		Bothe's institute, for example, was the first in Germany to possess accelerators such as the Van de Graaff band generator and, later on, the cyclotron.
		In 1932, Walther Bothe was called on to replace Philipp Lenard, the retiring director of the Institute of Physics at the University of Heidelberg.
		Fortunately, the Kaiser Wilhelm Gesellschaft's international prestige and legal status as a private organization enabled it to retain and hire scientists of its choice, as well as to pursue research free of government interference - at least during the early years of the Third Reich.

		Indeed, his studies at the Rockefeller Institute of membrane permeability and bio-electric phenomena merged important areas in biochemistry, biophysics, and physiology (especially neurophysiology), as is reflected in his correspondence with other leaders in these fields.
		In spite of their limitations, the Rivers Papers are a valuable source in four areas: 1) the growth of American institutions of the life sciences in the postwar era, 2) biomedical war research and the Navy, 3) the development of virology, and 4) research on poliomyelitis and the development of the Salk vaccine.
		Rous's broader institutional and social influence is reflected in the files on scientific institutions and organizations, including the Rockefeller Institute, the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology, the National Academy of Sciences, the National Research Council, and the New York Academy of Medicine.

		During the Nazi period, the Kaiser-Wilhelm Institute for brain research was in close contact with the heads of "Operation T-4" and, for purposes of research, was supplied with brains of those assassinated.
		In 1948, the institute was first moved to the physiological institute of the university Giessen and finally to Frankfurt am Main.
		Following numerous clemency pleas and a wave of newspaper articles for Dr. Walter Schmidt, the former head of the Eichberg "children's' specialty department" and deputy head of the mental hospital, Schmidt was reprieved by the Hessian state governor and Minister of justice, Dr. Georg August Zinn, and released from prison in 1953.

		Rajewski firstly coined the term "Biophysics" and consequently the institute became one of the first to be known by this name.

		In the years from 1940 - 1945, some 700 human brains emanating from mentally ill or disabled victims of the Nazi euthanasia were examined by scientists at the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Brain Research in Berlin.
		This close association was initiated in 1937 when a change in the leading personnel at the institute effected a conceptual reorientation and a reorganization of its structure.
		In addition, the decision to participate in research pertaining to euthanasia was considerably influenced by the military structures that had developed within the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Brain Research since 1939.

		Since, to our regret, we have long become accustomed to other people appearing in the name of victims of the Holocaust, on their authority of their professional specialization of that period - and then what appears is not the memory, but "the interpretation of the memory".

		The connection between Dr. Mengele and the "Kaiser Wilhelm Institute" is a fact.
