description: "Rudolf Spanner was Director of the Danzig Anatomical Institute during World War II and Nazi Party member. During the Second World War, Spanner used human corpses in the creation of anatomical models for the institute, which after a soap-like byproduct from the model-creation process was presented in the Nuremberg trials as soap made from victims of the Holocaust, has led to numerous accusations against Spanner of crimes against humanity."
