The episode is about the history of euthanasia, sort of… as a historian, Warren provides some really nice insights regarding Nazi Germany and how the eugenics and sterilization/extermination programs worked and how they were the first so called “euthanasia” policies.

Where were so many children, in Germany in particular, sent off to institutions? What were the forces that led to mass confinement? What was the relationship between putting kids in institutions around the turn of the century and the later policies of sterilization and mass murder (“euthanasia”) occurring under the Nazis?  What is the legacy of the mass murder of children with disabilities?
