The origins of Nazi genocide: from euthanasia to the final solution. Chapel Hill: University of North Carolina Press, 1995, 1st printing number line ending with 1, xxiii, 421pp., . Henry Friedlander explores in chilling detail how the Nazi program of secretly exterminating people with disabilities evolved into the systematic destruction of Jews and Gypsies. Tracing the rise of racist and eugenic ideologies in Germany, he describes how the so-called euthanasia of people with disabilities provided a practical model for mass murder, thereby initiating the Holocaust., Based on extensive research in American, German, and Austrian archives as well as Allied and German court records, the book also analyzes the involvement of the German bureaucracy and judiciary, the participation of physicians and scientists, the motives of the killers, and the nature of popular opposition. Friedlander also sheds light on the special plight of disabled Jews, who were the first singled out for murder. - CONTENTS: The setting -- Excluding the handicapped -- Killing handicapped children -- Killing handicapped adults -- The killing centers -- Toward the killing pause -- The expanded killing program -- The continued killing program -- The handicapped victims -- Managers and supervisors -- Physicians and other killers -- Excluding gypsies -- Killing handicapped Jews -- The final solution. 9780807822081 ISBN 0807822086.…
