Libri GmbH Quand les médecins sont devenus des tueurs Médecins juifs, médecine nazie, Auschwitz et l'Holocauste dans le Troisième Reich

They swore the same oath. Then one half of the medical profession turned the other half into an experiment.Nearly half of all German physicians joined the Nazi Party, the largest professional group to do so. Doctors didn't just comply with Hitler's regime; they built it, from the sterilization laws to the euthanasia centers that became the blueprint for Auschwitz. Men sworn to heal became architects of mass murder.But inside the camps, another kind of doctor fought back. Gisella Perl performed abortions with her bare hands to save mothers from the gas chamber. Lucie Adelsberger treated typhus in a barrack built for horses. Alina Brewda smuggled dying patients past Mengele's inspections. Exhausted, starving, and utterly powerless, they chose again and again to place another life above their own, guided by a tradition that teaches: to save one life is to save the world.When Doctors Became Killers tells both stories side by side medicine's darkest hour and its most quietly heroic one and asks what we owe that history as science races toward a future of genetic engineering and designer children.
