This is the first attempt to explain how Jewish doctors survived
extreme adversity in Auschwitz where death could occur at any
moment. The ordinary Jewish slave labourer survived an average of
fifteen weeks. Ross Halpin discovers that Jewish doctors survived
an average of twenty months, many under the same horrendous
conditions as ordinary prisoners. Despite their status as
privileged prisoners Jewish doctors starved, froze, were beaten to
death and executed. Many Holocaust survivors attest that luck, God
and miracles were their saviors. The author suggests that surviving
Auschwitz was far more complex. Interweaving the stories of Jewish
doctors before and during the Holocaust Halpin develops a model
that explains the anatomy of survival. According to his model the
genesis of survival of extreme adversity is the will to live which
must be accompanied by the necessities of life, specific personal
traits and defence mechanisms. For survival all four must co-exist.
