In the shadow of the Reich: Nazi medicine

Studies the step-by-step process that led the German medical profession down the unethical road to genocide. Documents the racial theories and eugenics principles that set the stage for the doctors' participation in sterilisation and euthanasia.

Finds disturbing echoes of antisemitism in the otherwise lyrical Gospel of St. John, the sermons of St. Augustine, the writings of Martin Luther and in the voices of the Crusaders and the Spanish Inquisitors - all of which may have helped sow the ideological seeds that developed into Nazism
