520    "This is a tragedy that begins in the halls of psychiatry 
       and modern art and ends in the Nazis' first gas chambers. 
       In the early 1920s, Hans Prinzhorn, a psychiatrist and 
       aesthete, sought insight from the art of mental patients 
       such as Franz Buhler. Buhler was a brilliant, well-known 
       ironworker until his schizophrenia diagnosis, and his work
       was compared to that of Munch and Duhrer. Prinzhorn 
       collected and published their work, inspiring the 
       Modernist movement that was coming into fashion just as a 
       young Adolf Hitler arrived in Vienna to begin his brief, 
       failed career as a painter. Hitler was alienated by the 
       Modernists and what he called their "degenerate" art that 
       expressed the most primal human emotions. He saw it as a 
       disease in the body politic and set out to crush it with 
       the infamous "Degenerate Art" exhibition Goebbels and 
       Hitler engineered in 1938, that mocked the work of mental 
       patients and Modernists. The cultural cleansing was a 
       precursor to the racial cleansing and Prinzhorns's patient
       artists would be caught up in both. Hitler developed the 
       first gas chambers as a way to dispose of 70,273 patients,
       including Franz Buhler. In The Gallery of Miracles and 
       Madness, the Nazis' cultural destruction, which would 
       rightly be considered among the lesser sins of the Reich, 
       puts the horror of the Holocaust into relief. The cultural
       decimation--the burning of books and artwork--was a 
       stepping stone to the more overt horrors of the Holocaust.
       By equating artistic expression with sickness, Hitler made
       the case to the German people that they could not be made 
       whole until those spreading this sickness were destroyed. 
       Showing us the way Hitler's most profound personal 
       insecurities fan the flames of nationalism and unfolding 
       the transition from Weimar life to Nazi life from less 
       familiar points of view--the ward of a psychiatric 
       hospital, the contents of a museum--English poses profound
       questions about what is really at stake in cultural 
       objects and offers us a 
520    fresh look at the brutality of the Nazi regime"--
