Blind history tells us that whatever happens, we will rise to it.
In 1934, blind clergy were writing statements speaking out against sterilization, which was being practiced both overtly and otherwise around the world. In Germany, people with hereditary forms of disability were medically sterilized. In America, they were often discouraged from socializing with each other and forming relationships. (And you think women sitting across the aisle from men was bad.)
On the other hand, they were developing ways to unify writing systems. International Hebrew braille was adopted in 1936.
