This sensitive yet incisive book addresses the medical treatment of
children in the occupied city of Strasbourg during Nazi occupation.
Exploring more than 1,000 previously undocumented patient files, it
illuminates starkly the workings of paediatric care at a pivotal
moment in history. Issues of nationality, social class, and
diagnosis all contributed to the experience of each child, and here
extensive data analysis is deployed to back up poignant individual
stories. This is the first ever demographic overview of a
vulnerable group who were treated in the hospital of the
Reichsuniversität Straßburg. Veering away from the
well-established, top-down approach of examining the doctors,
instead it makes the patient central to the analysis. A vivid
picture emerges of the practical impact that war and occupation had
on children who were suffering from illness, revealing how they
were affected by Nazi ideology. Establishing a chronology of this
important paediatric clinic, the author situates the core
historical developments which brought it from establishment with
optimistic and idealistic goals, to downfall just three years later
when the Allies liberated the city. Based on previously
under-utilized primary sources, this volume employs a novel and
distinctive analytical framework, using Alltagsgeschichte (the
history of everyday life) and patient experience theory to frame
medical records and accounts. The book will be relevant to those
interested in the history of childhood, politics, occupation and
border disputes, psychiatry, medicine, denazification and the
postwar era, the history of National Socialism, patient history and
the Second World War.
