Defended by Disease In this episode, we discuss several cases in history where a disease has helped people, acting as a shield to protect them from great harm. All of these cases occurred during World War 2, and were carried out by physicians doing their best to protect those targeted by the Nazis.

During the 18th - 20th century, fear of premature burial was intense. Many inventive ideas arose to deal with the issue, one of which was the security coffin. In this episode we discuss where this fear came from & the many devices created to aid the mistakenly buried. #history #podcast #morbid
