It provides a spellbinding glimpse inside the devil s pact made between the Nazis and Germany s largest conglomerate, I.G. Farben, and its Bayer pharmaceutical subsidiary. The story is one of murder and greed with its roots in the dark heart of the Holocaust. It is told through Nazi henchmen and industrialists turned war criminals, intelligence agents and zealous prosecutors, and intrepid concentration camp survivors and Nazi hunters.</p><p>Set against a backdrop ranging from Hitler s war to conquer Europe to the Final Solution to postwar Germany s tormented efforts to confront its dark past, Posner shows the appalling depths to which ordinary men descend when they are unrestrained by conscience or any sense of morality. <em>The Pharmacist of Auschwitz</em> is a moving saga that lingers long after the final page.</p>(*_*)9781909979406_<p>"Shocking.
