Description
Alfred Pasternak, MD, is Clinical Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology, David Geffen School of Medicine, Los Angeles CA. He is a world expert on medical issues and the Holocaust having lectured and published extensively on medical issues with respect to the German concentration camps during WWII. Dr. Pasternak, a child survivor of Auschwitz, investigates this relatively little known chapter of Holocaust history by examining the existing records documenting Nazi human medical experiments and the lives of the doctors who conducted them.
