Thousands of Disabled People Were Murdered In Their Beds.

Nazi controlled Germany is full of human atrocities, the T4 Program, the predecessor to the terrible Holocaust, was one of the worst ones. The most vulnerable and helpless people were being targeted. Those who had cognitive disabilities, the elderly, disabled children, mentally ill patients were sent in droves to gas chambers where they were executed silently, quickly, their ashes returned to their families with a death certificate with a fake cause of death listed. The killing of these innocent individuals devolved into them being shot in their beds, killed without any second thought or mercy. The reason that they were targeted? They were seen as undesirables, people who did not belong in the Nazi’s eugenic vision, to the Nazis these people were simply life unworthy of life. But who gets to decide who is worthy of life and who isn’t?
