MUDr. Adolf Pokorny

Adolf Pokorny was born on July 25, 1895 in Vienna, Austria. He was a dermatologist and medical doctor. He was a defendant in the Nuremberg Doctors' Trial.

Pokorny participated from March 1915 to September 1918 in the First World War. He received many medals and was discharged later in the rank of a second lieutenant.

In 1922, he completed his medical doctorate on March 22, 1922 and received his medical license. After two years of clinical training, he opened a practice in Komotau, specializing in skin and sexually transmitted diseases. His application to enter the NSDAP was declined in 1939, because he had been married to a Jewish physician from whom he had been divorced in April 1935.

During World War II, Pokorny worked as a medical officer of the German Armed Forces. Pokorny was tried by the American Military Tribunal No. I (also known as the Doctors' Trial) in August 1947. However, he was acquitted of having participated in compulsory sterilization experiments.
