The Origins of Nazi Genocide: From Euthanasia to the Final Solution

Author: Henry Friedlander

Tracing the rise of racist and eugenic ideologies, 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 Roma and Sinti (Gypsies). He describes how the so-called euthanasia of the handicapped provided a practical model for the later mass murder, thereby initiating the Holocaust.
