Description: "When the Nazis assumed power in Germany in 1933, they wasted no time in implementing their radical racial 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."--BOOK JACKET.
Notes: Published in 1738 under title: A complete collection of genteel and ingenious conversation, according to the most polite mode and method now used at court, and in the best companies of England.
