Stephen Unwin’s elegant debut work, All Our Children,  shows a world caught in a spiral of horror and examines a brutal system which sanctioned mass murder for those who led, what the Nazis called ‘lives unworthy of life’.

An astonishing and chilling story of courage, betrayal and humanity, Unwin unfolds a rich dramatic narrative, and explores cultural, moral and social arguments which still rage today.

       

Stephen Unwin said “All Our Children comes from a deep place.  I am the father of a profoundly disabled young man, but also the son of a German-Jewish refugee and was brought up as Catholic.  The story of the conservative Bishop von Galen’s campaign against euthanasia and murder fascinated and moved me.  And I was shocked by the pseudo science and rationality that the Nazis offered in defence.

How do we value those who are not productive; how do we support those who can’t support themselves; how do we protect the most vulnerable?  The challenges that the disabled face today are, thankfully, a long way from the horrors of Nazi Germany, but some of the philosophical and social questions that it raises are fiercely relevant today.”
