Ryan and Schuchman (both of the department of history, Gallaudet U.) present ten essays that were partly drawn from the 1998 conference of the same name (co- hosted by their university and the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum) and partly penned after the conference. The ideology and practices of medical professionals that led to the labeling of deaf people as undesirables in Nazi Germany and their subsequent murder are examined. The experiences of different deaf populations, including deaf Nazis, are described in remaining chapters. Annotation (c) Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
