A Blind Eye to Murder by Tom Bower Pdf

This text provides an account of the allied treatment of Nazi war criminals and the failure to denazify Germany. Despite the growing avalanche of evidence after 1939 about Nazi Germany's deliberate extermination policies, the British Foreign Office refused to implement Churchill's orders to organize an effective post-war programme to hunt down and prosecute the perpetrators. That disinterest was matched by the State Department in Washington. Both governments even seemed disintereseted when their own POW's were victims. In the early 1960s, the truth was discovered, that of approximately 150,000 known mass murderers, only about 30,000 had been prosecuted - the vast majority in Eastern Europe. The three western allies were to blame. They had deliberately turned a blind eye to murder.

Blind Eye to Murder by Tom Bower Pdf

In 1942, when news of the Nazi genocide reached the West, the leaders of the anti-Hitler coalition pledged to punish all those responsible for war crimes. Their resoluteness was confirmed by the Moscow declaration of December 1942 and a number of other pronouncements. Despite this decision, the compilation of a list of Nazi criminals, and the arrests of some leading personalities after the war, neither the U.S. nor Britain succeeded in punishing those guilty of the Holocaust and carrying out the denazification of Germany. Although the Nuremberg Trials, and some lesser ones, were conducted in the British and American occupation zones, many criminals not only went unpunished but were even reinstated in decision-making positions in West Germany, and many others were allowed into Britain and the U.S. Guided by political and economic considerations rather than by justice, Britain, the USA, and other Western nations renounced their pledge and granted shelter to Nazi criminals and their accomplices. Britain and other countries began to revise their policy toward former Nazi criminals only in the late 1980s-90s.

Blind Eye by James B. Stewart Pdf

A medical thriller from Pulitzer Prize–winning author James B. Stewart about serial killer doctor Michael Swango and the medical community that chose to turn a blind eye on his criminal activities. No one could believe that the handsome young doctor might be a serial killer. Wherever he was hired—in Ohio, Illinois, New York, South Dakota—Michael Swango at first seemed the model physician. Then his patients began dying under suspicious circumstances. At once a gripping read and a hard-hitting look at the inner workings of the American medical system, Blind Eye describes a professional hierarchy where doctors repeatedly accept the word of fellow physicians over that of nurses, hospital employees, and patients—even as horrible truths begin to emerge. With the prodigious investigative reporting that has defined his Pulitzer Prize–winning career, James B. Stewart has tracked down survivors, relatives of victims, and shaken coworkers to unearth the evidence that may finally lead to Swango’s conviction. Combining meticulous research with spellbinding prose, Stewart has written a shocking chronicle of a psychopathic doctor and of the medical establishment that chose to turn a blind eye on his criminal activities.
