This reminds me of the ethics behind modern British air-sea rescue techniques, where they learned to lift people from freezing water in a horizontal position instead of vertical because this had a higher rate of survival. The data behind the science came from Nazi experiments in Dachau.
"Victims are ethically owed many things: recognition that what was done to them was indeed wrong, a credible indication that the society takes this seriously, an effort to identify, apprehend and punish the perpetrators, and compensation for their ongoing suffering and disadvantage. But beyond this, we have an obligation not to forget, and not to whitewash."
