To Be Read: Finding Ruth by Ilka Knuppel

For Adults. Ruth Rosa Louise Muhlmann was 20 years old when she was killed at Bernburg Euthanasia Center on March 31, 1941, one of over 300,000 people with disabilities murdered by the Nazis.
The Nazi cover-up of her death in their secret euthanasia program, Aktion T4, was so effective that it was not until 2018 that the truth was discovered. Ilka Knuppel has carefully researched the history of her great-aunt, Ruth, and her family in Germany.
‘Finding Ruth’ describes the journey that crisscrosses years and continents, delves into dusty documents, and pieces together bits and pieces of clues from various oral histories to unearth the true story of Ruth. Books will be available for purchase and signing.
