The appalling story of Hitler's murderous policies aimed at the
disabled including tens of thousands of children killed by their
doctors. Between 1939 and 1945 the Nazi regime systematically
murdered thousands of adults and children with physical and mental
disabilities as part of its 'euthanasia' policy. These programmes
were designed to eliminate all people with disabilities who,
according to Nazi ideology, threatened the health and purity of the
German race. Hitler's Forgotten Victims explores the development
and workings of this nightmarish process, a relatively neglected
aspect of the Holocaust. Suzanne Evans's account draws on the rich
historical record, as well as scores of exclusive interviews with
disabled Holocaust survivors. It begins with a description of the
Children's Killing Programme, in which tens of thousands of
children with physical and mental disabilities were murdered by
their doctors, usually by starvation or lethal injection. The book
goes on to recount the AktionT4 programme, in which adults with
disabilities were disposed of in six official centres, and the
development of the Sterilisation Law, which allowed the forced
sterilisation of at least half a million young adults with
disabilities.
