Known as the Krankenmorde (the murder of the sick) 300,000 people were killed. A further 400,000 were sterilised against their will. Many complicit doctors, nurses, soldiers and bureaucrats would then perpetrate the Holocaust. From eyewitness accounts, records and case files, The First into the Dark narrates a history of the victims, perpetrators, opponents to and witnesses of the Krankenmorde, and reveals deeper implications for contemporary society: moral values and ethical challenges in end of life decisions, reproduction and contemporary genetics, disability and human rights, and in remembrance and atonement for the past."--Publisher's website.War victimsNational socialismMentally illPomerania (Poland and Germany)History20th centuryEuthanasiaPomerania (Poland and Germany)History20th centuryPsychiatric ethicsPomerania (Poland and Germany)History20th centuryPeople with disabilitiesNazi persecutionWar victims.National socialism.Mentally illHistoryEuthanasiaHistoryPsychiatric ethicsHistoryPeople with disabilitiesNazi persecution.940.5318Robertson Michael D.1216427Ley AstridLight EdwinaNTSMBOOK9910409843103321The first into the dark2811935UNINA
