It stretches your mind - with an infinite array of tangible examples and superbly reasoned arguments - as it stretches your heart. Whether you are a physician or not, you read this book and you want to be a better person." - Rabbi Joseph Telushkin, Author of Jewish Literacy and A Code of Jewish Ethics: two volumes, You Shall Be Holy and Love Your Neighbor as Yourself"This book offers important insights into the enduring question: how were doctors and medical personnel who were trained to heal and save lives able to become such an integral part of the murder process in Nazi Germany.Theprominent physicians and scientistswho contributed to this bookforce us to once againtograpple with difficult issues.
