Nazi scientists did awful things to prisoners. They wanted to see how the human body reacts to extreme cold. They did these experiments in places like Dachau and Auschwitz. When people get too cold, they can get hypothermia, which can make them very sick or even kill them.

The prisoners endured terrible suffering during these experiments. Many of them died in agony because of how cold it was. It's a really sad and terrible part of history.

These experiments were cruel and went against basic human rights. Every person deserves to be treated with dignity and respect, but the prisoners were treated like objects in these experiments.

These experiments were really cruel and against basic human rights. Every person has the right to make their own choices about their bodies, but the victims didn't get to choose what happened to them.
