14. Nazi doctors were astonishingly candid in their use of public health as simile. In the words of one, who "worked" at Auschwitz-Birkeneau, "I am a doctor and I want to preserve life. And out of respect for human life, I would remove a gangrenous appendix from a diseased body. The Jew is the gangrenous appendix in the body of mankind." See note 1, Lifton 1988:16.
