The book reveals the complex and troubling legacy of Hans Asperger, known for his work with children with disabilities, while uncovering his involvement in Nazi racial policies. Prize-winning historian Edith Sheffer presents a critical examination of Asperger's actions during Hitler's regime, highlighting his complicity in the murder of children, which contrasts sharply with his celebrated image. This groundbreaking work challenges the perception of Asperger and prompts a reevaluation of his contributions within a dark historical context.
