Doctors from Hell: The Horrific Account of Nazi Experiments on Humans

The information is provided through the author's first hand account as a court reporter of the Nazi doctor's crimes at the Nuremburg trials.She presents the chapters through the different Nazi experiments on humans. For example, there is a chapter on freezing experiments, another chapter on sterilization, another chapter on mustard gas experiments, etc... Because the chapters are divided in this manner, it makes it easy to use for research purposes while for the common reader it allows you to easily obtain the information.The facts are explained through the Nuremburg testimonies as reported by the court. It is not the entire report, but only the pertinent information for the purpose of the book. The reports account for dialogue between both the prisoners, Nazi's, judge, witnesses, and prosecutors. The author explains the court reports before and after exposing them to provide background information. She uses language that is understandable for the common layman to comprehend. Photos are included throughout this book.Keep in mind that this is a memoir, which is considered literary nonfiction. So, there are moments when she does recount her thoughts and feelings during this time. Ocasionally, she will discuss her life in Germany while working as a young reporter; this adds to the setting during this time since her and other reporters had no warm running water etc...as a result of the war.I recommend this book to anyone who is interested in the facts during the Holocaust, specifically the atrosities committed by Nazi doctors to innocent civilians in Germany.

"I would spend the rest of my life trying to recover from what I had heard and written in what was called a “Record That Will Never Forget.”"Nazi doctors did their work without any crisis of conscience. They were convinced that by helping Hitler to realize his racial ambitions, they were contributing to the salvation of humanity."This is the most extensive and detailed publication about Nazi doctors that I have ever read. This book goes in-depth about the horrors and inhumanities suffered by those held in concentration camps, and the doctors who committed them."Human guinea pigs, prisoners both young and not so young, weakened or still in good health, were subjected to unspeakable suffering and agony in laboratories managed by doctors from the best German families and the most prestigious German universities."Much of the testimony is given by prisoners who themselves were experimented upon, and it is gut-wrenching to hear their stories, but they need to be told.

prosecuted at Nuremberg by a woman who was present at the trials. She wanted to tell the world the basics of the crimes and trials before she passes away.⚠ Warning! Contains graphic photos. You do not want a child looking through this book.All of the doctors claimed that they were following orders and trying to advance medical science. None expressed remorse.The entire Nuremberg trials targeted only the most serious offenders. There were many more medical personnel involved in crimes against humanity, beginning with the mass extermination of disabled Germans. I've always been very disturbed by the decision to not prosecute more people.I don't believe any of the doctors who experimented on prisoners in Japanese POW camps were ever prosecuted, and Japan did begin to publicly admit and apologize for its war crimes until the 21st century.Turkey continues to deny the Armenian genocide. I cannot respect a nation until there has been a full public admission and apology.

I bought this book as a newbie to Pharmacovigilance and wanted to learn more about drug trial history.I can’t even get into the book. I’ve read 65 pages and the author has utterly bored me with petty details of her wardrobe, dinning experiences, and accommodations. It’s hard to take her serious as a professional court reporter when her writing style is so focused on trivial crap.

Adolf Hitler was a cruel, self-centered man driven by demonic dreams of grandeur. It is no wonder, then, that the German medical establishment that his National Socialist Party co-opted pursued their "scientific" aims with a sadistic and brutal methodology that negated much, if not all, the vaulted aims of the enterprise. Vivien Spitz was a court reporter at Nuremberg. As a young woman, she spent nearly two years hearing first hand testimony from medical experiment survivors, coerced concentration camp "health" workers, and accused state medical personnel. The experience haunted her the rest of her long and productive life. Her book is a strong antidote against the poison of Holocaust denial.

Written from the perspective of a female court reporter during the “doctors trial” in Nuremberg she proceeds to tell what transpired during the trial as well as what what said and talked about on the stand informative and entertaining my only dislike is at some points and (not for very long) she gets a little off subject and talks about her personal experiences during the course of the trial which to me personally is side tracking but all in all a good book if you are interested in the subject matter

This book truly opened my eyes to the horrors endured .How tragic that so many innocent people were literally slaughtered for experiments . That were seen as essential.How disgusting that men and women swore to upheld the oath of healing could with help of the SS , and think nothing of torturing in the name of science,.I was deeply saddened by the truth and horrors that mankind can inflict with no remorse or guilt., such unimaginable cruelty.

This book, is a difficult must read. Written incredibly well and structurally perfect it leads the reader through the darkest of events. Each experiment seemingly more atrocious with every section. And while it was so hard to read, that is a compelling reason why it must be.

The core of this is good solid historical evidence. However, the writers nerd to talk about herself spoils it. Hard-core evidence and historical testimony surrounded by petty rubbish. This book most be read with a care

Tragic reading. Very informative though. Just make sure your next book is a little lighter in reading.

Brilliant book. Very well written and informative. A fantastic insight into some of the horrors of concentration camps.

A depressing,factual book giving a full story of Nazi atrocities and it's perpitraters and their trials

This book made me uncomfortable. I think that was the objective of it. Cannot complain, though, that was sort of what I was looking for. I hear things about holocaust deniers all the time, and while I think they are outright wrong I could never give an opinion about it. This book started a study about the nazi enterprizes and I have a more clear picture of the kind of "science" they wre doing, which fills me with dread.The tale told is disgusting. The book, though, is a magnificient way to share enlightment about a very dark, very ugly time in human race experience. Read it. Besides well written, it will probably refrain people from ever doing those awful things again.
