The
documentary was shot at the Auschwitz and Majdanek concentration
camp and features a score of interviews with the leading scholars
and survivors involved in the study of Nazi medicine: Dr. Michael
Grodin, Dr. Charles Roland, Dr. Jay Katz, Mrs. Eva Kor, Dr. Arthur
Caplan, Prof. Michael Kater, Prof. Donald Dietrich, and Dr. Paul
Vinger, along with a 1995 interview at Auschwtiz with a former S.S.
doctor, Hans Munch. During the Third Reich, in a step by step process,
the Nazi doctors went from racial theory, to sterilization of the
unfit, to euthansia, and eventually arrived at the Final Solution of
the Jewish question--genocide. The doctors were integrally involved
with these decisions in every way, from racial laws and diagnoses
to selections and unethical experimentation. This documentary graphically
traces the medical involvement in this process.
