Ringworm and Radiation
Every Sephardi child was to be given 35,000 times the maximum dose of x-rays
through his head. For doing so, the American government paid the Israeli
government 300 million Israeli liras a year. The entire Health budget was 60
million liras. The money paid by the Americans is equivalent to billions of
dollars today. To fool the parents of the victims, the children were taken away
on "school trips" and their parents were later told the x-rays were a treatment
for the scourge of scalpal ringworm. 6,000 of the children died shortly after
their doses were given, while many of the rest developed cancers that killed
thousands over time and are still killing them now. While living, the victims
suffered from disorders such as epilepsy, amnesia, Alzheimer's disease, chronic
headaches and psychosis. ......The film presents a
historian who first gives a potted history of the eugenics movement. In a later
sound bite, he declares that the ringworm operation was a eugenics program aimed
at weeding out the perceived weak strains of society.
