Exploring more than 1,000 previously undocumented patient files, it illuminates starkly the workings of paediatric care at a pivotal moment in history. Issues of nationality, social class, and diagnosis all contributed to the experience of each child, and here extensive data analysis is deployed to back up poignant individual stories.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThis is the first ever demographic overview of a vulnerable group who were treated in the hospital of the Reichsuniversität Straßburg. Veering away from the well-established, top-down approach of examining the doctors, instead it makes the patient central to the analysis. A vivid picture emerges of the practical impact that war and occupation had on children who were suffering from illness, revealing how they were affected by Nazi ideology. Establishing a chronology of this important paediatric clinic, the author situates the core historical developments which brought it from establishment with optimistic and idealistic goals, to downfall just three years later when the Allies liberated the city.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eBased on previously under-utilized primary sources, this volume employs a novel and distinctive analytical framework, using \u003cem\u003eAlltagsgeschichte\u003c\/em\u003e (the history of everyday life) and patient experience theory to frame medical records and accounts. The book will be relevant to those interested in the history of childhood, politics, occupation and border disputes, psychiatry, medicine, denazification and the postwar era, the history of National Socialism, patient history and the Second World War.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eA study that is crisply written, scrupulously detailed, and convincing in its conclusions.\u003c\/p\u003e -- Michael Biddiss * British Society for the History of Medicine *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eList of Figures \u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgements \u003cbr\u003e Author’s note \u003cbr\u003e Glossary of Terms \u003cbr\u003e Archive Abbreviations \u003cbr\u003e Terminology Abbreviations\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e1.
