134. Dr Gisella Perl - Abortionist at Auschwitz

Dr Gisella Perl is a woman worth remembering this Women's History Month, a gynaecologist at a time when women, let alone Jewish women, were entering and excelling in medicine. A woman, a prisoner, a doctor who would work against the odds to save as many lives as she could in the notorious death camp, Auschwitz-Birkenau. Warning, this week's episode is not for the faint of heart, a big huge trigger warning for all of the violence and abuse.
