The Nazi Doctors: Medical Killing and the Psychology of Genocide
Robert Jay Lifton

How do doctors, trained to heal and cure, become murderers? How did the Third Reich use medicine to subvert the Hippocratic oath and justify their genocidal policies? Based on interviews with Nazi doctors, survivors and experts, as well as extensive research, the author reveals a chilling Nazi "biomedical vision" and analyzes the physicians who carried it out. A profoundly moving and powerful history and analysis of German doctors' roles in the Nazi genocide program.
