The dark history of eugenic thought in Germany from the nineteenth century to today-and the courageous countervoicesBetween 1939 and 1945, Nazi genocide claimed the lives of nearly three hundred thousand people diagnosed with psychiatric illness or cognitive deficiencies. Not until the 1980s would these murders, as well as the coercive sterilizations of some four hundred thousand others classified as "feeble-minded," be officially acknowledged as crimes at all. 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. Drawing on a wealth of rare archival evidence, Dagmar Herzog sheds light on how Germany became the only modern state to implement a plan to eradicate cognitive impairment from the entire body politic. She traces how eugenics emerged from the flawed premise that intellectual deficiency was biologically hereditary, and how this crude explanatory framework diverted attention from the actual economic and clinical causes of disability. Herzog describes how the vilification of the disabled was dressed up as the latest science and reveals how Christian leaders and prominent educators were complicit in amplifying and legitimizing Nazi policies. Exposing the driving forces behind the Third Reich's first genocide and its persistent legacy today, The Question of Unworthy Life recovers the stories of the unsung advocates for disability rights who challenged the aggressive victimization of the disabled and developed alternative approaches to cognitive impairment based on ideals of equality, mutuality, and human possibility.

Great toy that's a real hit so far!
Color: YELLOW
This squeaky goose has been a total hit and, more importantly, it actually passed the "German Shepherd test." It is always a gamble with plush toys and large breeds, but this one has stayed completely intact after several play sessions. Even with all the shaking and carrying around, the seams are holding up perfectly and the squeaker is still going strong. The combination of the squeak and the crinkle wings keeps things interesting, and the material feels much more durable than your average stuffed toy. If you have a powerful chewer who still loves a soft toy to carry around, this is a great, resilient option that won't fall apart immediately.

The cutest softest, quack, quack
Color: PINK
My seven year-old full octane energy 12 pound dog is obsessed with ducks every toy that she’s ever gotten really attached to has been a duck and I bought the same exact up from a different store at least a dozen times because she was obsessed with it. But as soon as she would get the noisemaker out of it, it was time for anyone. But it was so cheaply made I decided to start getting her different ducks that were supposed to be harder to destroy, and we still have a graveyard of destroyed ducks. But this one she doesn’t wanna destroy it. It only has one little squeaker is what I call it so she doesn’t care to try to tear it open and take it out. The material is extremely lush and soft and it is incredibly adorable. I don’t really know what makes it an interactive toy though, but I recommend it.

Puppy destroyed in days
Color: PINK, Color: PINK
My 5 1/2 month old Maltese destroyed this toy in a few days so I would definitely say it is not chew resistance.
