In an effort to create the Master Race, Nazi physicians and bioscientists, using American legislative models, money, and moral support, sterilized 400,000 and euthanized 200,000 German citizens while developing the gas chambers and crematoria used to murder 6,000,000 Jews. Rubenfeld and the contributors to this collection posit that German physicians betrayed the Hippocratic Oath when they chose knowledge over wisdom, the state over the individual, a führer over God, and personal gain over professional ethics. This groundbreaking work questions whether, since the best physicians of the early twentieth century could abandon their patients, the best physicians of the twenty-first century can be certain that they will not do the same.

How could the medical profession ever let such a thing happen? This collection of essays shows that it wasn't just a lunatic fringe, but rather, there was an international sentiment regarding euthanasia and forced sterilization which supported the deranged growth of the Nazis' race purification agenda. The medical profession was the largest represented academic body in the Nazi party. How could this come about? What attracted physicians to the regime?
With calm, respectful discourse, the essayists construct a mountainous, well-documented argument that makes us examine whether we would have stood against the 'scientific' reasoning of the day.
I would have given it 5 stars, but for a few weak essays. As a physician, I found the essays by and about Dr. DeBakey especially enjoyable. This is the first book I've read on this topic specifically. There will definitely be more to follow. I sincerely hope that others will take the time to read and learn more about this shameful part of medical history.
