שואה ביתית

הערכה

A psychanalyst's book examines Marcel Petiot, a French doctor who posed as a rescuer for Jewish families during the Holocaust but murdered them in his home. The framing suggests the book treats Petiot as a symptom of societies in collapse, inviting readers to consider how extreme social fractures can produce killers who exploit the desperate. The analysis probes the criminal mind rather than offering a straightforward historical account.
