Publisher Synopsis
"Bryant's book offers a unique series of insights into the post-WWII redefinition of euthanasia, after 'mercy killing' had served the Nazis as a crucial prelude to the gassings of Jews and other groups. The work will be of great use to legal historians and to Holocaust scholars from all fields, as well as to the general public interested in human rights issues." Read more...
