Pernkopf's Atlas is a comprehensive anatomy textbook that was first published in the 1930s. The atlas was created by Dr. Eduard Pernkopf, a professor of anatomy at the University of Vienna, and features detailed illustrations of the human body. The atlas was widely used by medical students and professionals for many years, but has recently come under controversy due to allegations that the illustrations were created using the bodies of executed political prisoners during the Nazi regime. This has led to calls for the atlas to be removed from medical education and for alternative anatomy resources to be used instead.
