Description
|
|
|
|
Between 1939 and 1945 the Nazi regime murdered hundreds of thousands of adults and children with physical and mental disabilities in a euthanasia program that was designed to eliminate anyone who, according to Nazi ideology, threatened the purity of the German race. This book explores the development and workings of this nightmarish process in detail, including the forced sterilization of half a million young adults with disabilities, and the Children's Killing Program, in which tens of thousands of children with physical and mental disabilities were murdered by their own physicians, usually by starvation or lethal injection.
