Faced with infectious diseases, starvation, lack of medicines, lack
of clean water, and safe sewage, Jewish physicians practiced
medicine under severe conditions in the ghettos and concentration
camps of the Holocaust. Despite the odds against them, physicians
managed to supply public health education, enforce hygiene
protocols, inspect buildings and latrines, enact quarantine, and
perform triage. Many gave their lives to help fellow prisoners.
Based on archival materials and featuring memoirs of Holocaust
survivors, this volume offers a rich array of both tragic and
inspiring studies of the sanctification of life as practiced by
Jewish medical professionals. More than simply a medical story,
these histories represent the finest exemplification of a humanist
moral imperative during a dark hour of recent history.
