Institute depicted as victim having 3 people of jewish origin dismissed and being bombed. No mention that in the 30s the institute was known for its affiliations with the regime and e.g. head of the genetics dept and then the institute director Ernst Rudin was a long-time racist eugenicist and then Nazi expert leading its forced sterilization policies and who supported and funded clinical work that involved killing children. Kraepelin who shaped the whole thing from the start (and Rudin was his protege) seems to have not had entirely unrelated ideas about racial or psychiatric degeneration?
