I myself was born deformed in the legs, my legs were crooked starting with my feet but my parents had me put in braces as a child and straighten them to wear today you would never even know I had crooked legs. I wasn't born back in the thirties but I often think about all the parents who were encouraged to give their children up to better their lives. I'm very thankful my family loved me very much and never gave me up. I think it's safe to say that Hitler was a sick deranged freak and I can't believe he had the followers that he did. I pray that history doesn't repeat itself in any way shape or form

When in Berlin I walked past the T4 memorial by chance. I actually went to see the Berlin Philarmonic building. There is also a grey bus statue there, symbolizing the grey busses used to transport the victims to their deaths, very touching. I have learned so much in this podcast thanks. I also watched the Johan Niemann episode and that photo of him in front of the Brandenburg facility haunts me. One can see his eyes he seems to sense he is losing a part of himself forever.

It makes me angry when people say lack of penalty. Has anyone EVER thought why there was lack of penalty ? I'll tell you why. It's all politics. West Germany became "the good boy" of the western nations after the war, and the west didb't want to "blame" too much the Germans for all the atrocities that they carried out because of the cold war. So the west became implicit in just letting these criminals get away for next to nothing. That's why. Your OWN GOVERNMENTS helped them, and were unwilling to give them the PROPER SENTENCES.

Ever heard of the Nuremburg Trials? It's not like the Nazi Party got off free. Granted, certain Germans should have been punished more serverely, or even at all (Werner Von Braun, objectively speaking, even if he did do good for NASA). One thing they were found guilty of is Crimes Against Humanity. Should we have been told about AT-4 much longer ago? Yes. Even so, the lesson did sink in deeply enough into the German institutions and people so that they now practically regard Nazis as Satan.

Can't think of much that we have done to fix it. In fact, it seems as though autism is far more prevalent now than it was 20-30 years ago. And no, that's not just perception or awareness. The number of children, particularly boys, who are clearly autistic (major speech delays or non verbal, making noises, unexplainable meltdowns in public, etc) is quite alarming. My son is autistic, and the amount of young boys who seem to have developmental disabilities is almost the same amount as those without. Clearly there is something environmental which is causing this (at best), and possibly something more sinister. As far as screening goes...That does nothing. In my eyes, all it has done is allows women to decide that her child with downs syndrome isn't worth it. Sweden was bragging a few years ago how they have effectively ended downs syndrome in their country, and I can't help but feel sad about how they "solved" that "problem". My cousin and her husband both carry the cystic fibrosis gene, and they were able to have twins in vitro, ensuring that they didn't have the CF gene. That is a miracle, and amazing. I guess i am just skeptical about the optimism surrounding these developments, and really dislike the idea of a mother denying her child the right to exist because they are going to be different. We have another baby on the way, and if they said that my next son's brain would be similar, I'd take him in a heartbeat and love him just as much.

@@mikesmith5559 That’s actually not true. There aren’t MORE autistic people now than before. Developmental specialists, for whatever reason, have broadened the diagnostic scope of autism to include even those who are defiant , non-cooperative, or seemingly self-absorbed. A child developing speech a little later or being loud and obnoxious in public is nothing previous generations would regard as a disability. Children were handled more firmly in the past and so, they learned to behave themselves much sooner. Today, for some odd reason, parents would rather say their child has some disability when they scream and act up rather than do the work it takes to control the child because it’s considered “abuse.”

However the sterilisation program was for general public. Nowadays the disabled and the frail and elderly continue to suffer society's refusal to use containment measures like ventilation to allow safer exposure for the vulnerables. This program was related to eugenics and the entire quality of life spectrum of who has value led to the zero value of murder certificates of Jews when still being typed up in case someone cared. The push to make geriatric units in hospital for passive care, the urge to not get all treatment for developmental disabled patients or frail elderly in our current times, the push to allow doctors and nurses to assist suicide for mental illness are all the same as this, so don't let a vulnerable person in hospital alone.

After the victims were killed their bodies were cremated and their families were sent metal urns containing the ashes of the victims along with letters explaining the cause of death, influenza, heart attack, strokes, etc. The people charged with doing the paperwork were mostly members of the the German national detective agency, the Kriminalpolizei. Slip ups happened. For example, one victim's family got a letter explaining that their son died of appendicitis which surprised his family since the boy had had his appendix removed some years before. Episodes like this were common. Though located in fairly remote areas, the six killing centers were near small towns. The locals saw the buses arriving and the patients going into the hospitals, but no one ever came out. A short while after the victims arrived, the crematoria started belching and thick, black, oily smoke descended on the town. It was easy enough to guess what was going on. Near the Hadamar killing center crowds of children would greet the arriving buses with cries of "Here come some more to be gassed!" School kids used to taunt each other with the threat that if you were a bad child, "you'd go up the chimney." Despite stringent regulations against revealing state secrets, people talked. Most of the "burners," the men charged with emptying the gas chambers, and burning the bodies were civilians, not hard core S.S. men. After work they would go to the local bars and get drunk. Townspeople overheard the burners shoptalk. For a complete study of these events, see Michael Burleigh's book "Death and Deliverance." It's a horrifying read. Peace and best wishes.
