Final Day Workshops Our second of concluding workshops lead by the Principal Scholar of FASPE will offer an opportunity for participants to investigate how seemingly ordinary decisions and career ambitions can converge to enable atrocities, and how to recognize these risks today. "Ambition and Atrocity: The Collaboration of the Gynecologist Carl Clauberg and the Chemist Johannes Goebel (Schering) in Human Experimentation at Auschwitz” Expert: Thorsten Wagner Fellowships at Auschwitz for the Study of Professional Ethics, USA The workshop will explore various paths leading to Auschwitz. Block 10 became the point of convergence for very different professional careers. The medical crimes committed at the camp provide a lens, a window into various forms of historical complicity – medical, professional, corporate – and their contemporary implications for professional ethics today. We will look at individual career choices and organizational dynamics and explore how the transformation of moral norms and the momentum of surprisingly quotidian, ordinary motives can converge and lead to previously unimaginable crimes overseen by professionals. What does these dynamics mean for us today?" We encourage all conference participants—and those newly interested—to attend this workshop as part of a shared commitment to historical accountability and professional reflection. *Limited number of participants
