Prefazione di Liliana Segre. "Domani spariranno i testimoni e io racconterò a chi non può credere, che tutto ciò è successo. A noi spetta memoria. Sarà per sempre il nostro Kaddish". "Noi figli dei sopravvissuti alle camere a gas di Birkenau non siamo normali.

The Question of Unworthy Life charts this history from its origins in prewar debates about the value of disabled lives to our continuing efforts to unlearn eugenic thinking today.
