Robert Ritter is most famous for his work as a German psychologist conducting pseudoscientific racial hygiene studies on the Roma population during the Nazi era. A lesser-known fact is that he was originally trained as a medical doctor and psychiatrist before leading the Racial Hygiene and Population Biology Research Unit. His lasting legacy includes the ethical scandals of his research, which contributed to the persecution of Roma people and serves as a stark warning about the misuse of science in authoritarian regimes.
