Tóm tắt

"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 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."--Back cover.
