About this audiobook

In a place where medicine was used to harm, she vowed to heal

Occupied France, 1942: Psychiatrist Dr. Adélaïde Hautval is arrested for defending a Jewish family. When she’s deported to Auschwitz and assigned to the women’s infirmary, she’s ordered to assist with sterilization experiments under SS doctors—including the infamous Josef Mengele. As the line between healing and harm blurs, Adélaïde makes a choice that could cost her everything.

London, 1964: Two decades later, one of the Nazi doctors is on trial—and Adélaïde is the key to exposing the truth.

Based on a remarkable true story, The Doctor of Auschwitz is a haunting and unforgettable novel about choosing humanity over survival and finding the courage to speak out.

Perfect for fans of The Midwife of Auschwitz and The Nightingale!

Looking for a powerful historical fiction based on a true story? The Doctor of Auschwitz by Kit Sergeant tells the courageous story of Psychiatrist Dr. Adélaïde Hautval who braves imprisonment, her health, & death in a fierce desire to protect those most vulnerable. Deemed a friend of the Jews, she faces the most dire of circumstances when forced to work in inhumane conditions & assist in medical experiments. Juxtaposed with her story is the 1964 trial of another doctor whom Adelaide worked with
