The Guardian carries an obituary today on Alice Ricciardi-von Platen, the German psychiatrist, who revealed the horror of the Nazi medical programme.
In 1935 she moved to Italy where she joined refugee groups in Florence. She remained in Italy until 1939.
When war broke out she worked as a GP near Linz in Austria. There she became close to an anti-Nazi priest and learned about the horrors of the nearby concentration camps of Mauthausen and Ebensee.
At 96, she lectured with great clarity before a packed, young audiencein the Nurenberg Rathaus, inspired by her concerns with the troubling legacy of Nazism in today's psychiatry.
Alice Ricciardi-von Platin was born on April 28, 1910, at Weissenhaus in Holstein, Germany.
