Aktion T4
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aktion_T4
I knew they were killing people, the Nazis, like the mentally ill and congenitally ill, but I never learned any details. It's just sickening. Some people did fight against this, openly. I guess that goes to the point that the killing of the Jews COULD have been protested, but wasn't. |

One other point--why is this not as well known, by far, as the concentration camps that killed Jews (and others)?
Because the mentally ill and mentally retarded have no living advocates to remind the world of their story. What are tragedies, if not remembered? They are nothing. |
