Do No Harm - Medical Ethics and the Holocaust

Physicians swear to do no harm when they take the Hippocratic oath, but what happens when that ideal clashes with real life and death decisions? Can we use Nazi medical research in order to help save lives today? What kinds of dilemmas did Jewish medical professionals face during the Holocaust? Join us for a fascinating discussion of these compelling issues, moderated by Yad Vashem Senior Historian Dr. David Silberklang who will be speaking with Professor Dan Michman, Head of Yad Vashem's International Institute for Holocaust and Dr. Benjamin Gesundheit, physician and expert in medical ethics.
