Doctors of Infamy: The Story of the Nazi Medical Crimes is a non-fiction book written by Alexander Mitscherlich. The book provides a comprehensive account of the medical atrocities committed by Nazi doctors during World War II. It delves into the unethical and inhumane medical experiments conducted on concentration camp prisoners, including sterilization, euthanasia, and the testing of new drugs and treatments. Mitscherlich also explores the psychological and ideological motivations behind these crimes, including the Nazi belief in eugenics and the desire to create a ""pure"" Aryan race. The book also examines the role of the medical profession in the Nazi regime, and the complicity of doctors in these crimes. Through extensive research and interviews with survivors, Mitscherlich sheds light on a dark chapter in human history and exposes the horrors of the Nazi medical experiments.
