Charlie English, a former journalist for The Guardian, spoke with Thorin Tritter, HMTC’s museum and programming director, about his newest book, which weaves together details about Hitler’s war on modern art and the Nazi campaign to murder individuals with mental illness that established a model for use in the mass murder of Jews in death camps. Although often explored as separate topics, Charlie English brough these themes together in his book to tell an eerie story of genius, madness, and dehumanization that provides a fresh perspective on the brutal ideology of the Nazi regime.
