Even amid despair, there could be positive aspects to the persecution suicides of the deportation period. This volume describes them as a distinct phenomenon that should be firmly integrated into emigration and resistance research. It carefully examines the final months of Arthur Nicolaier the physician who discovered tetanus and fell into relative obscurity after committing suicide along with the support networks in his milieu.
