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 true example of courage and feminism
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.

What a very sad true story indeed. I was engrossed but full of different emotions listening.
Can only award it full marks 5 stars. Such a very very compelling read. Was engrossed from the start. Very emotional listening to a lot of it. So barbaric. So heartbreaking. Shocking in parts. If you are interested in this event,then get the audiobook. Prepare to be alarmed. Worse than I ever thought.

apparently an optional heading is required...
It might have got into its stride, but I got tired of continual chat about air travel, having to use water purification tablets and the travel arrangements of a young woman. Very dull. I don't care who she sat next to on the flights....I image the tone that the narrator choose to use was designed to replicate the droning of aeroplane engines

Sad, shocking but must be remembered
A history of human evil told by witnesses, victims and a reporter. The setting of a post war Germany is also interesting, of how the life looked back then.
The performance of this audiobook is a bit too robotic, but one can get used to it by the end.

truth
First of all this was superbly narrated. The story of these demon, so called, doctors is revealed with nothing held back. Vivienne Spitz was an extraordinary lady and I'd encourage anyone to read/ listen to this book.

Captivating
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.

A valuable account
This is a must read/listen for all who have the stomach to discover the extent of the horrific experiments carried out on human beings. We must make sure future generations are aware of this genocide

Very well documented
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
