More victims of medical experiments in Austria have come forward after a 63-year-old man said that he had been deliberately injected with malaria as a punishment when he was a psychiatric patient at Vienna’s University Clinic in the 1960s.
A 57-year-old woman has said she was injected with drugs which left her temporarily blind when she was a child in the notorious Wilhelminenberg home.
In addition, girls as young as eight were injected with drugs meant for animals in Innsbruck by a top psychiatrist influenced by Nazi ideology until the 1980s, according to new research.
Worrying, are indications this kind of medical experimentation is still going on.
In the summer of 2010, a cleaning lady from the former Yugoslavia told me she had been placed under a court guardianship by a judge in Ottakring and then confined to a hospital in the 19th district in Vienna. She had put into nappies and given injections, she said. She said she thought herself lucky to have come out alive. I didn’t find out her name and was not able follow up but her account sounded authentic.
Wilhelm Jäger said he believed staff at Vienna’s General Hospital injected him with malaria in 1964 as a punishment for running away from care homes.
Another victim has said that at least two or three other children were also injected with malaria at the same time as he was.

A 57 year old woman has said that she was subjected to experiments with injections and tablets that resulted in her going blind for a several hours when she was in care in the Wilhelminenberg where thousands of girls were allegedly subjected to serial rapes and even killed.
The head of an Innsbruck psychiatric clinic for children, Maria Nowak-Vogl , injected girls as young as eight or nine with a drug commonly used by vets to treat cows until the 1980s, it has emerged.
Nowak-Vogl injected girls with a drug called Ephiphysan, known to cause damage to human beings, to stop “their sexual desire”, according to the Innsbruck historian Horst Schreiber.
He said that Nowak-Vogl was “obsessed with stopping every sexual impulse.”
She classified children from the working class as “genetically inferior.”
“She frequently used Nazi terminology,” he said.

A boy of five was subjected to high doses of radiation by Nowak-Vogl because he was prone to fits of anger.
Schreiber described the treatment meted out to children who were in the care of Nowak-Vogl as brutal.
The daughter of a judge, Nowak-Vogl also had an important role acting as an assessor of children’s mental health for courts in Innsbruck and Feldkirch. Countless children were placed into care as a result of her verdicts.
Nowak-Vogl remained the head of the clinic until 1987.
In 1987, she was awarded the Grand Cross of the Order of St Sylvester by the Catholic church – the same order that was given to Otto von Habsburg and the Major William Joseph Donovan, the “father” of the CIA.
