Scholarly Finding from the Nazi Era Today and Nazi Urban Planning and Contemporary Construction

Scholarly Finding from the Nazi Era Today – How are scholarly finding produced during the time of National Socialism dealt with today—work that was the outcome of “research” conducted under the most terrible, cruel conditions? Could the results of this research be applied for the welfare of patients today? Werner Vogt (physician, Vienna)

Nazi Urban Planning and Contemporary Construction – Contemporary city planning and urban design sometimes seem to be having recourse to plans from the Nazi Era. A subject well worth considering is the reason for such similarities. Do city planners have to deal with the legacy of National Socialism? Ute Woltron (journalist, Vienna)
