In 1934, 32,268 people were sterilized against their will under the Reich Ministry of Interior's new law: Law for the Prevention of Offspring with hereditary Diseases. This law was in conjunction with eugenics, the science of the betterment of the human race through improved breeding. Eventually this law led to 375,000 German nationals being sterilized. Part of this number was the deaf. In Crying Hands: Eugenics and Deaf People in Nazi Germany, author Horst Biesold, a former teacher of deaf students, describes the heartache of these deaf victims. He interviewed through sign language 1,215 people. Their hands tell a painful story of mutilation and lifetime suffering.

Synopsis
"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, 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 Foreword by Henry Friedlander When the Nazis assumed power in Germany in 1933, they wasted no time in implementing their radical policies, first by securing passage of the Law for the Prevention of Offspring with Hereditary Diseases. Among those designated by this law as "congenitally disabled" were deaf people. Horst Biesold's newly translated book examines this neglected aspect of Nazi "racial hygiene" through interviews with more than 1,000 deaf survivors of this brutal law that authorized forced sterilizations, abortions, and eventually murder. Crying Hands meticulously delineates the antecedents of Nazi eugenics, beginning with Social Darwinism (postulated in the mid-nineteenth century) and tracing the various sterilization laws later initiated throughout the world, including many passed and practiced in the United States. This exceptional scholarship is movingly paralleled by the human faces fixed to the numbing statistics, as in story after story those affected recount their irretrievable loss, pain, and misplaced shame imposed upon them by the Nazi regime. Through their stories, told to Biesold in German Sign Language, they have given voice to the countless others who died from the specious science practiced by the Third Reich. And now their own trails finally have been acknowledged., When the Nazis assumed power in Germany in 1933, they wasted no time in implementing their radical policies, first by securing passage of the Law for the Prevention of Offspring with Hereditary Diseases.

- 5***e (13)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Últimos 6 mesesCompra verificadaGreat price. Timely shipping. Item arrived in an inadequate thin plastic shipping package with cardboard on each side of the comic. The package was bent into a v shape straight across the middle (horizontal). The comic was also bent causing a severe crease and spine break across the center from spine to edge. Proper packing could have prevented this. I will not buy from this seller again.
