The Doctor of Auschwitz: The Powerful True Story of One Woman's Courage

In a place where medicine was used to harm, she vowed to heal

Occupied France, 1942: Psychiatrist Dr. Adélaïde Hautval is arrested for defending a Jewish family. When she’s deported to Auschwitz and assigned to the women’s infirmary, she’s ordered to assist with sterilization experiments under SS doctors—including the infamous Josef Mengele. As the line between healing and harm blurs, Adélaïde makes a choice that could cost her everything.

London, 1964: Two decades later, one of the Nazi doctors is on trial—and Adélaïde is the key to exposing the truth.

Based on a remarkable true story, The Doctor of Auschwitz is a haunting and unforgettable novel about choosing humanity over survival and finding the courage to speak out.

Perfect for fans of The Midwife of Auschwitz and The Nightingale!
