Jewish Doctors and the Holocaust (eBook)

Ross W. Halpin, University of Sydney, Australia

“This is a ‘must read’ book in medical and allied health professional schools.” Avi Ohry, MD Professor of Rehabilitation Medicine at Sackler Faculty of Medicine, Tel Aviv University, Israel “After meticulous research, Ross Halpin presents a pioneering study that intertwines fragments of testimonial accounts, documentary archival evidence and conceptual frameworks. What emerges is a compelling model of description and interpretation of the limited chances of survival of Jewish doctors in Auschwitz, one of the epicentres of the Holocaust.” Konrad Kwiet, Emeritus Professor, Resident Historian, Sydney Jewish Museum, Sydney, Australia “The author’s description of Auschwitz’s medical world is an illuminating and brilliant synthesis and his final chapter, ‘Anatomy of Survival’, a masterpiece where one can see his own contribution to research at its best.” Etienne Lepicard, Bet Hagat and the Israeli National Council for Bioethics, Jerusalem, Israel “This is a powerful, compelling and important work.” Garry Walter, Professor of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, Sydney Medical School and Centre for Values, Ethics and the Law in Medicine, University, Sydney, Australia
