Nazi Eugenics – Precursors, Policy, Aftermath
| We are ordinarily unaware of the degree to which our being treated as civilized, decent, autonomous, moral agents depends on our ability to look and act like such agents. To the degree that we make it impossible for other people to look and act that way, we make it easy to treat them as less than human . |
| – John Sabini[1] |
| Only one judgement is passed on the executioner – he ceases to be a human being. Though looking on his victim as less than human , he becomes his own executioner; he executes the human being inside himself. But the victim – no matter what the executioner does to kill him – remains a human being forever. |
| – Vasily Grossman[2] |
