Mad Doctors in The Debt

In the first half of the movie The Debt, we are introduced to our "mad doctor" character Dr. Bernhardt. He works as a fertility doctor in Berlin and our three main characters have been assigned to take him back to Israel to take punishment for his crimes in the Holocaust. As with some of the doctors studied in class he is an old man in a lab coat with somewhat crazy hair and an evil demeanor. He is very smart as seen when he has suspicions about Rachel's intentions. He asks her a lot of questions about her past to make sure his identity is kept a secret.
This doctor is a fictional recreation of one of the many Nazi doctors from our class readings. There was a movement in sterilizing "undesirables" so that they did not pass on their genes to the next generation.
One thing that seemed to take Rachel by surprise is when she inserted the needle into the doctor to take him out, his wife ran in. She seemed to think that these doctors were evil to the core and could in no way form a healthy relationship but Mrs. Bernhardt was very upset when her husband was taken to the hospital. It makes sense that Rachel would be surprised because most of the Doctors at the Nuremberg  seemed to think that they were not at fault for such monstrosities which would indicate that they were somewhat mad themselves.
