Holocaust deniers rationalize the Nazis Euthanasia Program which claimed 200,000 lives & pioneered the extermination of undesirables by gassing.

“Eventually children with misshaped ears, bed wetters, and those who were found difficult to educate were marked for elimination.”

The Nazi euthanasia program, code-named “Operation-T4,” set out to eliminate “life unworthy of life.” It rapidly expanded to include individuals with mental illness, with Hitler’s 1939 decree allowing physicians to decide that certain individuals “be accorded a mercy-death.”

These patients included those with schizophrenia, the criminally insane, and the chronically hospitalized. The euthanasia program became the Nazi regime’s first campaign of mass murder against specific populations whom it considered inferior and threatening to the well-being of the Aryan race and the first time in history where psychiatrists sought out to systematically exterminate their patients, with several prominent psychiatrists playing central roles (1-4).

[In 1929, at Nuremberg, Hitler had proposed the annual "removal" of 7000,000 to 800,000 of the "weakest" Germans as a means of rapidly improving ...the German race. He also wanted to eliminate millions among the "inferior races that breed like vermin."]

By 1940, six killing centers designated as euthanasia institutions were established at Brandenburg, Grafeneck, Hartheim, Sonnenstein, Bernburg, and Hadamar.

The Hadamar Psychiatric Institute near Wiesbaden, Germany, code-named “Facility-E,” was refashioned for use as a psychiatry euthanasia facility in November 1940. From mid-January 1941 under Dr. Ernst Baumhard’s direction, with a staff of approximately 100, busloads of patients arrived daily at the killing operation.

The patients were offloaded, weighed, photographed, and led to the gas chamber disguised as a shower room in the cellar. At least 10,000 mentally ill adults were gassed and cremated at Hadamar in the first 9 months of 1941.

[Originally only the severely deformed were included in the program. Eventually children with misshaped ears, bed wetters, and those who were found difficult to educate were marked for elimination." ]

In August 1942, after a short break, [caused by protests from Catholic bishop Clemens Von Galen] the facility again functioned as an euthanasia center, using lethal medication doses or starvation. After removal of various organs for medical research, the bodies were buried in F1 located on the hospital grounds. The killing center remained operational until its liberation by American troops on March 26, 1945 (4).

[Euthanasia continued throughout the war. In the autumn of 1941, the staff at Hadamar celebrated the cremation of its 10,000th corpse with a special ceremony, followed by music, dancing and drinking.]

Operation-T4 claimed approximately 200,000 lives. Psychiatric euthanasia institutions served as training centers for the Schutzstaffel (SS) who used the experience to construct larger killing centers (Auschwitz, Treblinka, etc.). The psychiatrist Dr. Imfried Eberl, Treblinka’s first commandant and the only physician to command a death camp, established the facility following his experience as superintendent of Brandenburg Psychiatry Hospital (2).
