%X While recent scholarship has 每 for the past two decades 每 endeavoured to transcend initial reservations about memoirs of Holocaust survivors, the difficulty with some of these memoirs 每 namely their authors＊ implicit complicity in unethical medical research and in the Nazi Holocaust in general 每 remains however problematic. To address this thorny issue, this article considers the memoirs of a Jewish inmate doctor, Mikl車s Nyiszli, who worked with and for SS medical officers in Auschwitz, and his Auschwitz: A Doctor＊s Eyewitness Account. His memoirs can help us understand wider truths about the ※bond of complicity§ that, according to Primo Levi, existed between perpetrators and victims in the Nazi concentration camp
