It is a dramatization of the life of Holocaust concentration camp survivor Gisella Perl and is based on her book I Was a Doctor in Auschwitz.
Gisella Perl, a Jewish-Hungarian gynecologist from Sighetul Marmatiei, Romania, testifies before an Immigration & Naturalization Service (INS) review board consisting of three men.
Her most controversial actions included providing late-term abortions to pregnant women in order to save their lives.
These pregnant women would otherwise have been killed immediately or subjected to the torture of horrific "medical" experiments.
Perl is accused of "colluding" with the Nazi doctor Josef Mengele who directed experiments on pregnant female inmates at the Auschwitz concentration camp.
