Crying Hands: Eugenics and Deaf People in Nazi GermanyCrying Hands: Eugenics and Deaf People in Nazi Germany is a book by author Horst Biesold, published by Gallaudet University Press in 1999. The book was originally published in German as Klagende Hände(Wailing Hands) (Solms, Germany: Jarick Oberbiel, 1988), and translated into English by William Sayers. Introduction by Henry Friedlander.[1]SummaryHorst Biesold (1939-2000), was a teacher of deaf students at the Bremen School for the Deaf, and a Professor at the Universities of Bremen and Hamberg, West Germany.[2][3] He wondered why many of his deaf friends had no children, so he asked them. They told him they had been forcibly sterilized by the government during the National Socialist era of Germany. This prompted him to begin research into the Eugenics movement and this forgotten aspect of the Holocaust; the mistreatment of the deaf at the hands of the Nazis. Crying Hands is the result of that research. The book traces the roots of the "racial hygiene" goals of the Nazi eugenics movement through the sterilization laws to "mercy killings." Biesold uncovered collaboration of teachers and interpreters with Nazi eugenicists by reporting deaf children for sterilization, forced abortions and sometimes murder. The victims who survived the war reported physical and psychological pain decades later.[4] References1. ^{{Cite web | url=http://gupress.gallaudet.edu/CH.html | title=Crying Hands}} 2. ^{{Cite web | url=http://gupress.gallaudet.edu/CH.html | title=Crying Hands}} 3. ^[http://www.taubenschlag.de/html/infos/todesanzeigen/biesold.html 4. ^[Boyer, E.
