highly recommended

A chilling story of human depravity and ultimate justice, told for the first time by an eyewitness court reporter for the Nuremberg war crimes trial of Nazi doctors.

Exactly what I was looking for.

This account of the good Doctors is exactly what I`ve been looking for. I have had my fill of reading about other people`s hypotheses regarding why and how they reasoned out their crimes. I have my own capacity to form logical opinion, and it was time somebody had the raw unsullied guts to actually tell us what they *did*. Especially in this warm-fuzzy politically correct yet ultra-selfish capitalist world. But I digress.

Thank you Vivien Spitz.

The title tells all!

I have seen some footage on tv about the horrible things that have happened in WWII, but this book really tells alot due to a strong woman who went over to Germany for the trials of the "horrific" experiments that the drs who were still alive and on trial after the war was over.

This book is a must to read for those interested in Nazi and or WWII history.

Medical Demons

Way back in 1980, I had the opportunity to know a Polish American girl in Toledo,Ohio. She and her family are originally from Krakow, Poland. Her mother showed me the horrible scars on her deformed left leg and some presumably whip marks on her back. She told me she was interned in 1944 at the notorious concentration camp in Ravensbruck,Germany which was a concentration camp for women. The horrendous deformity and scars on her left leg were the result of experiments consisting of injecting germs to develop infection down to the bone and testing it with different drugs.
She was lucky she survived in spite of her weighing only 50 lbs at that time. The book "Doctors from Hell" is just appropriate for its title and content. Reading the book brings back memory of that mother and all the horrendous detail of not only her own experience but also those of her fellow inmates in that concentration camp. The book's authenticity is just
summed up by that mother's narration to me, a human being who was actually in and escaped from that "Hell" on earth. I highly recommend it.

Value of the book depends on your aim.

The value of the book really depends on your aim. If you just wish to have a general factual survey about the Nazi human experiments raised in the Doctor's Trial, the book will serve your need. However, most of the book relating to the Doctor's Trial per se is same as the opening speech of the US Prosecutor (General Taylor) and it is definitely weak at the conversations between the defendants and the lawyers/prosecutors during the trial. As a result, you cannot explore from this book why the defendants can commit such crime (many of them are distinguishing doctors and even the chief prosecutor admitted that some of they were not sadists). In gist, it is a book about "what" but not about "why". If you want to explore the underlying mentality, the book "Karl Brandt: The Nazi Doctor" by Ulf Schmidt may serve as a good start.
