Because Jean had worked for the national branch of the NAACP in the late 1940s, she began her letter with a friendly “Remember me?” It is a short, intimate phrase that characterized how Jean worked throughout her life. “‘Remember Me?’ The Life and Legacy of Jean Byers Sampson,” the third annual event of the Sampson Center, is a tribute to how one person’s life changed Maine.

The ideology of race struggle was a necessary, but not sufficient, condition for the Nazi genocide.' Without the underlying racist ideology, neither Auschwitz nor the murder of handicapped people in Hadamar would have been possible. Only in recent years have historians and sociologists attempted a detailed examination of how eugenics, racial hygiene, racial anthropology, psychiatry, human g...
