totalitarian regime such as the Nazi Third Reich” is a harsh but accurate analysis according to
both the books. Medical science has now been at the utmost level as there is a solution to almost
every medical related problem in it. But back then, it wasn’t possible as it is today. The people
with any weakness or disability were considered a burden to the society and the person crippled
also seemed to be facing criticism and devastated as they had no respect and felt like having no
reason to live. The book The Disability Rights Movement highlights the people who were facing
The book further explains how the disabled people were made fun of and felt grievance
regarding their medical conditions. The book was written under such medical disabilities and
aids the emotional and physical support. It sheds light on the numerous organizations and acts
performed all around the globe to cope with the disability concerns of the people. It includes
Americans with disability act, the league of the physically handicapped and the march of Dimes.
The League of the Psychically Handicapped was revolutionary since this organization was the
first well known organization nationally that demanded rights and shed light to those with
disabilities.
This association spoke to incapacities all in all instead of explicit ones like genetic youth
disability. At first the genetic youth handicap association was focused on a certain type of
disability. This circumstance with inability was tended to by Franklin D. Roosevelt, the president
of the United States of America. This provided a moral boost among the people with disability as
they witnessed a president with disabilities. This showed that nothing can hinder the way of
someone if he is determined, not even the disability. Roosevelt was not the only leader who had
to took part in enhancing the morale of the crippled individuals but the former president of US,
George Bush also played a vital role in providing aid to people with disability and helping
organizations for people with disabilities. Besides having spent his formative years with an
uncle, his mother's brother John, who used a wheelchair as a result of polio, 34President Bush
had three children with Disabilities. His daughter died of leukemia when she was three years old;
one of his sons had a colostomy after part of his colon was removed in 1986, while another son is
dyslexic.35 Parrino recalls Representative Coelho's comment: "George Bush does not get enough
credit for the ADA. If he hadn't wanted it, we wouldn't have had it. He made it very clear that he
wanted that bill on his desk at some point in time, and he wanted to sign it."36 Like President
Bush, Representative Coelho (who has epilepsy), Senators Weicker (R-Conn.) and Harkin,
and Representative Hoyer (who have family members with disabilities), are instances of political
figures with personal information on incapacity who assumed a functioning part in the section of
the ADA" (92 Fleischer). This shows that more than one president and authority experienced an
Further in this debate is the German Adolf Hitler, who was focused on externing every
Jew with disabilities instead of increasing their morale and providing them ways to endure in
their life. Besides such complaints were tended to through the start of public associations to bring
issues to light, for example, March of Dimes which is an association for individuals with a wide
range of disabilities. In addition, disability associations have become more adaptable, since the
Americans with Disability Act serves society in general. Also, the accompanying statement
"Because the general public accepted rehabilitation and inclusion into the main- stream for
disabled veterans of the two world wars more readily than for civilians with disabilities, disabled
veterans were the first to make progress in social integration" (170- Fleischer)This shows that
society promptly acknowledged veterans as opposed to the overall population with disability.
Anyway, public associations helped to join individuals with disabilities as one. This is so since
any individual can build up an inability during their life. In a society, where everything is
concerned with freedom such as freedom of speech, freedom to choose the state’s president.
There should also be the human rights commission which would follow the path of delivering
example, the Nazi Third Reich. This is so in light of the fact that a dictator has taken control
named as Adolf Hitler. Adolf Hitler needed to dispose of anybody that was not part of the
"unadulterated race." He saw anybody that isn't German as a malignant growth. The casualties of
the Nazi annihilation were principally any individual who was not part of the Aryan race, the
Jews, had a handicap, as well as a feature of a blend race would be considered a waste and killed.
In a majority rule society such complaints can be tended to through laws and public associations
anyway Adolf Hitler had something different as a primary concern. The jail doctors under the
Nazi Doctors, who are under Adolf Hitler, truly tested these casualties without the casualty's
consent. This came about in one or the other injury, passing, or an inability. Also, the Nazi's
caused such incapacities by abuse of medication and tests wherein they sent the Jews to gas
chambers clearing out thousands immediately. "In Auschwitz, Nazi specialists directed the
homicide of a large portion of the 1,000,000 casualties of that camp. Specialists performed
choices — both on the incline among showing up transports of detainees and later in the camps
and on the clinical squares. Specialists requested and administered, and on occasion did, direct
murdering of incapacitated patients on the clinical squares using the phenol injections into the
circulation system or the heart. Regarding these killings, specialists kept up a misrepresentation
of clinical authenticity: for passing’s of Auschwitz detainees and of untouchables brought there
to be slaughtered, they marked bogus demise declarations posting false diseases." (23 Lifton).
This shows that Jews and individuals with disability had no chance to get out and were
based society complaint can be tended to anyway under the Nazi standard individuals with
incapacities and the Jews had no state and were shockingly killed.
