He and Williams trace the origins of thalidomide to murderous experiments in second world war concentration camps and they name names.
His hunch derived from his knowledge of Vapniarca, a little-known Second World War concentration camp in what was then German-occupied Ukraine.
The second relates an ostensibly true story of surgical ingenuity at a Second World War concentration camp.
At the same time, my own research suggests that this contemporary trend nests within a larger trend of peace diffusion, war concentration and war aggravation.

During his years in prison, Sakic was believed to be the last living commander of a Second World War concentration camp.
Evans described the drug as having "murky origins" and claims investigations into the origins of thalidomide can be traced back to murderous experiments in second world war concentration camps.
Slipping between a Boer War concentration camp and present-day London, the book is a thoughtful and at times hilarious challenge to assumptions about ageing, family and history, and draws an angry parallel between US action in Iraq and British action in the Transvaal.
All of these chemicals may derive from the former phenol manufacturing activities present at the Industri-Plex site during World War I. Concentrations up to 1660 microgram/l benzene, 450 micro/l DPS, 230 microgram/l PPP, and 100 microgram/l OPP were detected in the hypolimnion.
Studies recently conducted in Vietnam also found that almost 40 years after the war, the concentrations of dioxin in the environment, especially in soils, sediments, and in some types of local foods such as ducks, freshwater fish, toad, free-range chicken, and so on in hotspots were still very high (7, 9, 10, 18– 20).
