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."--$cPublisher's website. 517 $aFirst into the Dark 606 $aHolocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) 607 $aGermany$xPolitics and government$y1933-1945 615 0$aHolocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) 676 $a943.086 700 $aRobertson$b Michael D.$01216427 702 $aLey$b Astrid 702 $aLight$b Edwina 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910688449303321 996 $aThe first into the dark$92811935 997 $aUNINA
