Compare the Nazi's motives for euthanasia and the Community's reasons for the release of young children, (The Giver)

Comparing the Nazi's motives for euthanasia and the Community's reasons for the release of young children:

The Nazi's motive for euthanasia is simply to execute children with both mental and physical disabilities. It was simply an organized murder were mentally and physically handicapped children were killed.

Also, the Community's reason for release of young children is somewhat similar as young children who were different from others or not developing fast and one of a twins in the community were released (killed). They are usually killed through lethal injection.

Explanation:

The semblance/similarity between the Nazi's motive of euthanasia and the Community's release of young children is that children are the victims of these systems. They had their reasons for killing young children.

In The Giver, the release was carried out to maintain and sustain a world that is under control.

In the Nazi's euthanasia, it was an elimination of undesirable elements in the society. It was also carried out under the umbrella of "mercy killing" when parents of disabled children gave petitions on that which was used as a justifiable excuse.

"Release" as used in The Giver is euphemism for euthanasia.

"The Giver" is a story written by Lois Lowry.
