Performance art highlights discrimination against the disabled

Disabled artist Liz Crow took to Trafalgar Square wearing a Nazi uniform. According to Disability Arts Online: "Crow's thoughtful piece of work was designed to draw attention to the Nazi programme of killing disabled people, which provided the blueprint for the 'Final Solution'. Crow sees this as having strong current relevance in the context of discussion about pre-natal screenings and assisted suicide." Mad World
