Disability History Association Book Award
The Disability History Association Book Award promotes the relevance of disability history and facilitates research, publication, conference travel, and public history initiatives related to disability history. Reviewers recognized Herzog's Question of Unworthy Life as "a vital addition to studies of the Nazi Aktion T4 project to exterminate disabled persons."
