Unworthy of Life Derek Elkins

Before there was the Holocaust, there was the Action T4 program. This program quietly shipped disabled and mentally ill people of all ages to locations in Germany in attempt to 'sanitize' the German race. Such medical procedures need doctors; enter Dr. Viktor Gottlieb, an idealistic young doctor who finds himself practicing medicine in a way he had never anticipated. In this fictional portrayal of some of humanity's darkest days, award-winning author Derek Elkins raises questions about just how far we've left the concept of 'life unworthy of life' behind.
