The Weight of the Word, by Piero Martinello and Piero Casentini, published by Fw:books. Piero Martinello in conversation with Massimiliano Tommaso Rezza, curator of the project

Medical eponyms are denominations of syndromes, diseases and discoveries that carry the name of the scientist who first isolated and described them. To this day, numerous eponyms controversially perpetuate the memory of doctors who worked under the Nazi regime.
The Weight of the Word is an extended visual essay combining archival images and texts to explore the biographies and work of nine Nazi doctors. It examines their scientific research and the subsequent damnatio memoriae following the condemnation of their actions, and offers a holistic view that intertwines their achievements, crimes, and the complex legacies they left behind.
