Doctors Of Infamy: The Story Of The Nazi Medical Crimes

By Alexander Mitscherlich and Fred Mielke

Book Overview

Doctors of Infamy is a historical account of the medical crimes committed by Nazi doctors during World War II. Written by Alexander Mitscherlich, a German psychoanalyst and social philosopher, the book delves into the atrocities committed by medical professionals in the name of science and racial purity. Mitscherlich examines the role of doctors in the Holocaust, including their participation in medical experiments on concentration camp prisoners, forced sterilizations, and euthanasia programs. The book also explores the psychological and social factors that allowed these doctors to commit such heinous acts, and the ethical implications of their actions. Through extensive research and analysis, Mitscherlich provides a comprehensive and disturbing portrait of the Nazi medical establishment and its crimes against humanity. Doctors of Infamy is a powerful and thought-provoking work that sheds light on a dark chapter in human history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
