The pharmacist of Auschwitz : the untold story of Victor Capesius

Zusammenfassung: "This is the little known story of Victor Capesius, a Bayer pharmaceutical salesman from Romania who, at the age of 35, joined the Nazi SS in 1943 and quickly became the chief pharmacist at the largest death camp, Auschwitz. There he dispensed drugs for horrific medical experiments, managed the poisonous gas that killed millions, and performed life and death selections of arriving transports of Jews. He also stole valuables stripped from the prisoners and gold ripped from the mouths of corpses. Based in part on previously classified documents, [the author] reveals how British and American forces captured and freed Capesius after the war." --(Back cover.)
