description: "Hugo Spatz was a German neuropathologist most known for conducting research on the brains of executed prisoners and children during the Holocaust. In 1937, he was appointed director of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Brain Research. He was a member of the Nazi Party, and admitted to knowingly performing much of his controversial research on the brains of executed prisoners. Along with Julius Hallervorden, he is credited with the discovery of Hallervorden-Spatz syndrome. Hugo Spatz's Oberarzt, 1937–1939, Richard Lindenberg, became chief neuropathologist of the State of Maryland."
