The Final Solution.Henry Friedlander explores in chilling detail how the Nazi program of secretly exterminating the handicapped and disabled 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 the handicapped 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 handicapped Jews, who were the first singled out for murder.National socialismMoral and ethical aspectsEuthanasiaPolitical aspectsGermanyHistory20th centuryMedical ethicsGermanyHistory20th centuryGenocideGermanyHistory20th centuryHolocaust, Jewish (1939-1945)Romani Genocide, 1939-1945.People with disabilitiesGermanyHistory20th centuryWorld War, 1939-1945AtrocitiesGermanyPolitics and government1933-1945Electronic books.National socialismMoral and ethical aspects.EuthanasiaPolitical aspectsHistoryMedical ethicsHistoryGenocideHistoryHolocaust, Jewish (1939-1945)Romani Genocide, 1939-1945..People with disabilitiesHistoryWorld War, 1939-1945Atrocities.940.5318Friedlander Henry1930-144491MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910454907903321The origins of Nazi genocide2482837UNINA
