«Ausmerzen. Vite indegne di essere vissute» is the historical essay by Marco Paolini, published by Einaudi in 2012 in paperback (176 pages, in Italian).
The book starts from Marco Paolini's eponymous theatrical show and the questions it left open. The author gathers a great deal of documentation, some of it little known, and turns it into a narrative that crosses history, science and ethics. With indignation, restraint and irony, he examines eugenics in Germany between 1920 and 1945 and the criterion of lives worth living.
It is part of the Einaudi Stile Libero Big collection and closes with a piece by Mario Paolini. The first edition was published in April 2012.
For those who enjoy historical essays and want to reflect on the limits of science and power.
