In 1939, the eugenics movement growing throughout the West did its worst in Nazi Germany. Through the Aktion T4 euthanasia program, five asylums and an abandoned jail were transformed into gas chambers. Tens of thousands of lives-predominantly adults with neuropsychiatric conditions-were extinguished in those structures, ultimately paving the way for the horrors of the Holocaust. Interlacing her experiences of psychosis with the complex history of psychiatry, Antonetta sheds light on the intersections of madness and societal perceptions of mental difference. She brings to life the stories of Paul Schreber and Dorothea Buck, two historical figures who act as models for mind care and acceptance"-- Provided by publisher.10aBuck, Dorothea,d1917-201910aSchreber, Daniel Paul,d1842-191120aAktion T4 (Germany) 0aPsychiatric ethicsxHistoryy20th century 0aEugenicszGermanyxHistoryy20th century 0aEuthanasiazGermanyxHistoryy20th century 0aPsychiatric hospital carezGermanyxHistoryy20th century 0aHolocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) 0aSchizophrenicszGermanyvBiography 0aNational socialism and science 0aPrint books.2local94  2lcccBOOKS  c608346d608346  00102lcc4070aAUbAUcGENd2026-02-04l0oRC339.G3 A58 2025pAU00000000021184r2026-02-04 11:33:41v215.00w2026-02-04yBOOKS
