"Pharmacist of Auschwitz" - a little-known story of Victor Capesius, a pharmaceutical seller from Romania, who at the age of 35 joined the ranks of the Nazis and in 1943 became the chief pharmacist in the largest death camp in Auschwitz. Partly based on previously classified documents, Patricia Posner talks about the identity of Capesius, his flight from justice and finally bringing him to trial twenty years after the end of the war for numerous murders. However, "The Auschwitz Apothecary" is much more than a story about Victor Capesius. This is a story of murder and greed, rooted in the dark heart of the Holocaust. The story of people turned war criminals, as well as brave concentration camp survivors and Nazi hunters.
