Forgotten Crimes: The Holocaust and People with Disabilities

Suzanne E. Evans
Disability Rights Advocates
224 pages
Cost: USD $26.00


A book conceived by Disability Rights Advocates. The appalling story of Nazi programs aimed at people with disabilities.

Between 1939 and 1945 the Nazi regime systematically murdered hundreds of thousands of children and adults with disabilities as part of its T4 "euthanasia" programs. These programs were designed to eliminate all persons with disabilities who, according to Nazi ideology, threatened the health and purity of the German race. Forgotten Crimes ($26.00 cloth; ISBN: 1-56663-565-9; 224 pp.) explores the development and workings of this nightmarish process, a neglected aspect of the Holocaust. Forgotten Crimes notes the inescapable implications of those Nazi medical practices for our present-day controversies over eugenics, euthanasia, genetic engineering, medical experimentation, and rationed health care.
