Publisher Comments:

This powerful study, the result of ten years of painstaking research and extensive interviews, casts new light not only on the origins of the Holocaust, but explains how physicians, sworn by oath and conviction to ease suffering, were transformed from healers to systematic killers.

Synopsis:

A brilliant analysis and history of the crucial role that German doctors played in Nazi genocide.
