A Jewish surgeon - a war veteran, brilliant scientist and respected citizen - becomes a victim of the mad anti-Semitic purge and stripped of all his possessions and discarded by the hospital. He is pressed back into service to perform an operation on a Nazi leader, and then machine-gunned as a reward.—Les Adams <[email protected]>
