Albuquerque, NM, May 17, 2006 ... The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) commended the unanimous decision of the New Mexico Space History Museum Commission for removing Dr. Hubertus Strughold from the Museum's International Hall of Fame.

ADL had provided documents to the Commission that linked Strughold to grisly experiments on Jews and gypsies at Dachau Concentration Camp. Strughold was a German scientist who was brought to the United States by the Air Force after World War II to work on aerospace projects. snip

ADL presented documents to the Commissioners provided by the Office of Special Investigations in the Department of Justice that placed Strughold, the Reich's Director of Medical Research for Aviation as a participant and commentator during a 1942 conference on cold water experiments conducted at Dachau Concentration Camp.

These experiments on Jews and gypsies involved freezing people to near death and re-warming them, measuring how quickly they might recover, or not. According to one source, nearly 200 people were either tortured to death by freezing, or subsequently murdered if they survived as part of these experiments.
