Gisella Perl was a successful Jewish gynaecologist in Romania during the 1930's and 1940's. In the year of 1944, she was taken to Auschwitz where she was known to treat women with kindness and compassion. Her job was to report all pregnancies to Dr. Josef Mengele, "The Angel of Death". Once the inhumane and horrible medical experiments given to pregnant women were uncovered, Perl vowed that there would never again be a pregnant woman in Auschwitz. Such experiments were torture and being thrown alive into the crematorium. She began to perform abortions in order to preserve as much life as possible.
