"Winner of the DAAD/GSA History and Social Science Book Prize, German Studies Association" "Winner of the Outstanding Book Award, Disability History Association" "A Choice Outstanding Academic Title of the Year" "Winner of the Allan Sharlin Memorial Book Award, Social Science History Association" "Innovative. . . . The Question of Unworthy Life attempts to restore dignity to people with disabilities who have been treated inhumanelyprecisely because their humanity has gone unrecognized."---Brian Hillman, Jewish Book Council "[ Herzog's] book opens new vistas on the past and present of disability. . . . Pairing first-rate scholarship with a deep moral sensibility, it restores emotion and, when possible, voice to those previously deemed unworthy of life."---Corinna Treitel, Times Literary Supplement "An outstanding history of eugenic politics in modern Germany. . . . The story Herzog tells of reformers struggles against such attitudes in fields like psychiatry and pedagogy, as well as in the political and public realms, is riveting and inspiring." * Choice Reviews * "A very valuable book." * David Marx Book Reviews * "A profoundly significant historical contribution."---David Lorimer, Paradigm Explorer "An important book."---Richard J. Evans, London Review of Books "Among the many achievements of The Question of Unworthy Life is to show the ways in which the Nazi genocide of the Jews was linked with the so-called euthanasia programme, not just institutionally, as historians have shown, but conceptually, and to explain why it has taken so long for. . .German society. . . to accept the fact that the ideas behind the euthanasia programme were part of a racist logic that underpinned the Holocaust."---Dan Stone, Social History "Sensitive, subtle, and damning. . . . [ Herzog's] heart seems to lie in documenting the horizon of possibility: the counter-voices of those she calls 'un-dehumanizers' and the arguments they made for the vulnerable among us. The delicate discursive analysis that underpins Herzog's work reminded this reader, therefore, of the best kinds of cultural history. . . . This is a masterful piece of work."---Britta McEwen, Austrian History Yearbook "Remarkable."---Richard Kirkup, The Historian
