The ordinary Jewish slave labourer survived an average of fifteen weeks. Ross Halpin discovers that Jewish doctors survived an average of twenty months, many under the same horrendous conditions as ordinary prisoners. Despite their status as privileged prisoners Jewish doctors starved, froze, were beaten to death and executed. Many Holocaust survivors attest that luck, God and miracles were their saviors. The author suggests that surviving Auschwitz was far more complex. Interweaving the stories of Jewish doctors before and during the Holocaust Halpin develops a model that explains the anatomy of survival. According to his model the genesis of survival of extreme adversity is the will to live which must be accompanied by the necessities of life, specific personal traits and defence mechanisms. For survival all four must co-exist. 546 In English. 588 0 Online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on February 27, 2019). 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 610 20 Auschwitz (Concentration camp)|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n96112360 610 27 Auschwitz (Concentration camp)|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/723014 650 0 Jewish physicians|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects /sh85101631|xNazi persecution.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh00006625 650 7 Jewish physicians|xNazi persecution.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/2014918 650 7 Jewish physicians.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 982889 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 Dictionaries.|2lcgft|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ genreForms/gf2014026086 655 7 Dictionaries.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1423826 776 08 |iPrint version:|z9783110593754 776 08 |iPrint version:|z9783110596045 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=1999780|zOnline ebook via EBSCO.
