Crying Hands – Eugenics and Deaf People in Nazi Germany - Horst Biesold - Bog

"Horst Biesold's Crying Hands treats a neglected aspect of the Holocaust: the fate of the deaf in Nazi Germany. His book covers a story that has remained almost unknown. In the United States, even in Germany, few are aware that during the Nazi era human beings-men, women, and children-with impaired hearing were sterilized against their will, and even fewer know that many of the deaf were also murdered." --From the Introduction by Henry Friedlander
