Those who don't know history are condemned to repeat it.
More than seventy years after the end of the Second World War, reading this book has never been more important.
The Doctors of Death is a historical document about the horrors of Nazi medicine during the Second World War. From the social and ideological context that allowed the role of the doctor to be utterly corrupted, to those responsible on the ground for the most heinous acts, this is a work based on the testimonies of survivors, the confessions of SS doctors and thousands of documents that the Nazis were unable to destroy before their final defeat.
Thousands of children, disabled people, homosexuals, gypsies, Jews and even dissident Germans, prisoners of an ideology that denied them their human condition, were subjected to atrocious medical experiments with the aim of annihilating inferior races or helping the war effort. It was the height of the Third Reich's cruelty, a scientific delirium that shocks and disgusts. And it must be read so that it is never forgotten.
