The author, a lawyer and former General Counsel at the CIA, provides a close-up look at the little-known story of Berlin's Jewish Hospital, the only Jewish institution in Germany to survive the Holocaust, drawing on the accounts of survivors to describe daily life in the hospital under the Nazis, the machinations of hospital director Dr. Lustig, the medical staff and patients, and the hospital's liberation by Soviet troops in 1945. When Nazism was finally destroyed and Berlin liberated in April 1945, the only surviving Jewish institution was a smallish hospital which also served as a prison and housed a Gestapo branch office. In an amazing feat of research, Daniel Silver has reconstructed this story of heroism and cowardice, of loyalty and betrayal, and retraced the fate of the individual survivors. More
