Hans Joachim Sewering

Hans Joachim Sewering was a German doctor who lived from 30 January 1916 to 18 June 2010. He is remembered mainly through a grave allegation about the Second World War: he is alleged to have taken part in transferring 900 handicapped Catholic children to a camp where they were killed. The Medicine Atlas records the allegation as an allegation, as the source does, and keeps to the record of what is held and disputed about him rather than passing judgment beyond that source. This entry is based on the opening sentences of one encyclopedia article, which give his dates and this account; his later career and the course of the controversy are left for later research.
