Holocaust II?

Wolf Wolfensberger

The author is a professor in the Division of Special Education and Rehabilitation at Syracuse University, Syracuse, New York. He has been known as an "architect" of human services, and as a major conceptualizer of comprehensive service systems, normalization, and citizen advocacy.

It is at least arguable that, in principle, the rationale for Hitler's genocide program resembles contemporary commentary in support of denying treatment to the Baby Doe's of the world or the very elderly. Then and today the rationale is based on the proposition that a life devoid of value is not justified. I am honored to turn over this month's column to my colleague at Syracuse University, Wolf Wolfensberger. His estimates that two hundred thousand people have their lives taken each year may offend some readers, should disturb every reader, but hopefully will encourage you to look further into the problem.--Burton Blatt, EdD, Associate Editor
