About this listen

This is the account of torture and murder by experiment in the name of scientific research and patriotism.

The author describes the experience of being in bombed-out, dangerous, post-war Nuremberg, where she lived for two years while working on the trial. Once a Nazi sympathizer tossed bombs into the dining room of the hotel where she lived moments before she arrived for dinner. She takes us into the courtroom to hear the dramatic testimony and see the reactions of the defendants to the proceedings. The witnesses tell of experiments in which they were deprived of oxygen; frozen; injected with malaria, typhus, and jaundice; subjected to the amputation of healthy limbs; forced to drink seawater for weeks at a time; and other horrors.

This landmark trial resulted in the establishment of the Nuremberg Code, which sets the guidelines for medical research involving human beings. Doctors from Hell is a significant addition to the literature on World War II and the Holocaust, medical ethics, human rights, and the barbaric depths to which human beings can descend.

Contains mature themes.

A compelling read on harrowing true events in recent history.
It’s hard to believe human beings can be so inhumane and have no remorse for their own actions.
It’s eye watering in every sense.
It shows you the evil of human beings, when there is no empathy for others, who are different to us.
Narrated in an engaging way that’s a credit to the original manuscripts.
The world needs to remember, genocide is still an issue.

An amazing story of a woman who did so much, way ahead of her time.
Sat here in the 2020s, listening to this story, it is amazing that a 22 year old wanted to cross the Atlantic to report on the Nuremberg trials. She had no idea about the Holocaust, as we do today, nor did she have a real idea about conditions in post WWII Germany.
Not only did the author survive but went on to have a career as a court, then a parliamentary, reporter.
Modern feminists go hang your heads in shame.

A true example of courage and feminism

I found it very informative on the nuremburg trials, the nazi experiments on humans and germany post WW2. Unlike some books, it transfers well from book to audio.

Captivating

I’ve have previously read this book . The narration is excellent and it’s horrifying to hear the stories again. Hard to believe humans could treat people like this. Really awful. Clearest views of the atrocities I’ve seen. Well written. These horrors must not be forgotten

Very well documented
