Action T4 - Эфтаназия в действии
Sep. 16th, 2006 09:35 amAction T4 was a program in Nazi Germany between 1939 and 1941, during which the regime of Adolf Hitler systematically killed between 75,000 to 100,000 people with intellectual or physical disabilities.
The Nazi regime began to implement racial hygienist policies as soon as it came to power.
The July 1933 “Law for the Prevention of Hereditarily Diseased Offspring” prescribed compulsory sterilisation for people with a range of hereditary conditions such as schizophrenia, epilepsy, Huntington’s chorea and “imbecility.” Sterilisation was also mandated for chronic alcoholism and other forms of social deviance. It is estimated that 360,000 people were sterilised under this law between 1933 and 1939.
The idea of sterilising those carrying hereditary defects or exhibiting what was thought to be hereditary anti-social behaviour was widely accepted, and was put into law in the United States, Sweden, Switzerland and other countries. Between 1935 and 1975, for example, 63,000 people were sterilised on eugenicist grounds in Sweden.
Hitler had always been in favour of killing those who lives he judged to be “unworthy of life.” Both his physician, Dr Karl Brandt, and the head of the Reich Chancellery, Hans Lammers, testified after the war that Hitler had told them in 1933, at the time the sterilisation law was passed, that he favoured killing the incurably ill, but recognised that public opinion would not accept this. [12] In 1935 he told the Reich Doctors’ Leader, Dr Gerhard Wagner, that the question could not be taken up in peacetime: “such a problem could be more smoothly and easily carried out in war,” he said. He intended, he wrote, “in the event of a war radically to solve the problem of the mental asylums.”
