'''Ernst-Robert Grawitz''' (June 8<sup>th</sup>, 1899 – April 24<sup>th</sup>, 1945) was a German physician and a ''[[Schutzstaffel]]'' functionary (Reichsarzt, "arzt" meaning "physician") during the [[Nazi]] era.
==Biography==
Grawitz was born in Charlottenburg, in the western part of Berlin, Germany. As ''Reichsarzt SS und Polizei'' (Reich Physician SS and Police), Grawitz was also head of the German Red Cross. Grawitz funded Nazi attempts to "eradicate the perverted world of the homosexual" and research into attempts to "cure" homosexuality. This involved [[Nazi Medical Experimentation|experimentation on inmates]] in Nazi [[Concentration Camp|concentration camps]]. He was in charge of "enthusiastic" experiments on concentration camp inmates.

Grawitz was also a part of the group in charge of the killing of mentally ill and physically handicapped people in the [[Action T4]] "euthanasia" programme, especially the child "euthanasia" from 1939. The officials selected the doctors who were to carry out the operational part of the killing programme.

In addition, researchers both in and outside the SS wanted to exploit the "supply" of inmates held in the SS camps and use them like "human guinea pigs" for experiments. In order to do so, the interested parties had to apply to Grawitz, who forwarded requests to Reichsführer-SS [[Heinrich Himmler]] who then gave final approval.

Towards the end of [[World War II]] in Europe, Grawitz was a physician in [[Adolf Hitler]]'s Führerbunker. When he heard that other officials were leaving Berlin in order to escape the advancing Soviet Red Army, Grawitz petitioned Hitler to allow him to leave Berlin; his request was denied. As the Soviet Army advanced on Berlin, Grawitz killed himself and his family with grenades at their house in Babelsberg.
