Editing Nazi Medical Experimentation (section)

===Experiments with poison===
Somewhere between December 1943 and October 1944, experiments were conducted at [[Buchenwald concentration camp|Buchenwald]] to investigate the effect of various poisons. The poisons were secretly administered to experimental subjects in their food. The victims died as a result of the poison or were killed immediately in order to permit [[autopsy|autopsies]]. In September 1944, experimental subjects were shot with poisonous bullets, suffered torture, and often died.<ref name="trials"/>

Some male Jewish prisoners had poisonous substances scrubbed or injected into their skin, causing boils filled with black fluid to form. These experiments were heavily documented as well as photographed by the Nazis.<ref name=":3" />
