'Euthanasia' Murders Memorial in Berlin Germany

 

The Nazi euthanasia program, known as Aktion T4, was a campaign of mass murder targeting individuals deemed "unworthy of life" due to physical or mental disabilities. Initiated by Adolf Hitler in 1939, the program aimed to eliminate those considered a burden on society and the economy.

The program involved the systematic killing of patients in psychiatric hospitals, care homes, and other institutions across Germany and occupied territories. Physicians were authorized to select patients for "mercy deaths" based on their medical conditions. The methods used included lethal injections, gas chambers disguised as showers, and starvation.

Although officially discontinued in 1941 due to public protests, the killings continued covertly until the end of World War II in 1945. It is estimated that between 275,000 and 300,000 people were murdered under this program.
