Remembering the forgotten victims,
By A Customer
This review is from: Death and Deliverance: 'Euthanasia' in Germany, c.1900 to 1945 (Paperback)
An extraordinary and deeply moving book. Burleigh documents in meticulous and scholarly detail the mass murder of psychiatric patients, and exposes the obscene justification of this as "mercy killing" (incidentally providing a fascinating and horrifying survey of the way in which the Nazi "euthanasia" program helped create the bureaucratic machinery later used to run the concentration camps). Instead of allowing the sheer weight of numbers to render the victims anonymous, he uses haunting photographs and details of some of the murdered adults and children to "bring them to life" and make vivid the humanity which the Nazis were unable to see. Anyone interested in the rights of the mentally handicapped and mentally ill should read this book
5.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: Death and Deliverance: 'Euthanasia' in Germany, c.1900 to 1945 (Paperback)
The best English language book available on Nazi euthansia...Burleigh's ironic style and meticulous research make a difficult subject a pageturner...
