Love - the driving force Book

A very impressive piece of scholarship, linking the murder of mentally and physically disabled people in Nazi Germany with the later mass murder of Jews and other victims in camps and gas chambers. The process of transporting the victims to centralized killing facilities, using ruses and lies to ensure a smooth process, selecting the victims before ushering them into the gas chamber, gassing them, plundering the corpses, and disposing the corpses is the same with "euthanasia" and the gassing of victims in death camps. As a result, Friedlander concludes correctly that the murder of the disabled needs to be classified as a part of the Holocaust.
