In this Lunchtime Lecture, Dr George Moishe Weisz will shed light on the horrific conditions under which female prisoners gave birth in concentration camps. He will discuss the ‘choice less choices’ Jewish doctors, nurses and inmates faced when killing or saving mothers and babies. Dr Weisz will present 12 survival stories and show how these ‘baby-survivors’ triumphed over murderers.
