Max Planck scientists study a brain segment. The three-year-long research project into the specimens in the Max Planck institutes' possession will begin in June, and aims to build a database listing the names of all "euthanasia" victims. After the war, Max Planck had sought to intern all human remains belonging to victims of the Nazis in its possession. The find led to further investigations which turned up "additional brain sections and preserved specimens", said Max Planck. The non-governmental Max Planck Society, with an annual budget of 1.8 billion euros ($2.0 billion), operates more than 80 research institutes.
