Yet few knew what drove her from postWorld War II Europe to Africa. Now, in the first comprehensive account of her life, Dr. Spoerry's revered selflessness gives way to a past marked by rebellion, submission, and personal decisions that earned her another nicknamethis one sinisterworking as a "doctor" in a Nazi concentration camp.
