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.

Both those from the healing arts and those from outside of them will find themselves challenged by these essays. --Deborah E. Lipstadt, Ph.D., Dorot Professor of Modern Jewish and Holocaust Studies, Emory University This is a stunning book. Quietly, it sets forth alarming accounts, and makes a steadily building argument. It brings a kind of awakening. --Michael Novak, internationally known theologian, author, and winner of the Templeton Prize in 1994
