The book, T4, is named after the address which was the headquarters of a Nazi organization that tried to get rid of many people whom they felt were undesirable. T4 stands for Tiergartenstrasse 4. The facts of T4 are true, but the story and characters are fiction. Paula is forced into hiding and away from her family when the Germans decided that deaf individuals could not be part of the master race. The author is deaf so feels a closeness to Paula. The book is beautifully written. It is simple and yet profound.
