"And they decided
Disabled people
Were 'useless eaters'
Who were 'unfit to live'"

I know very little about the T4 program that the Nazi's ordered during WWII. It's something that is truly awful, and something that is often forgotten amongst all the other terrible things that happened.
This is a book that's hard for me to review because I have such mixed feelings about it.

I love that there is a ya book that talks about this. I personally didn't even know about T4 until a few years ago, when I found a documentary that talked about it.

I really hope more YA books start talking about all the things that the Nazi's did during WWII. Not only to educate people but to make sure that they know that this is something that really happened. It's not made up and we have to STOP it from happening again.
