Dr Hautval and the Doctor's Conscience
Compiled and introduced by HALLAM TENNYSON
Dr Adelaide Hautval, a psychiatrist and a French Protestant, was imprisoned in Auschwitz as ' Friend of the Jews.'

In this programme, based on conversations recorded in French, Dr Hautval discusses her experiences and their relevance to the problems of contemporary medical ethics which she regards as more complex even than the questions she faced at Auschwitz With contributions from LOUIS BLOM-COOPER
