Description:... In Germany and occupied Austria, people with disabilities were the first to fall victim to National Socialist mass murder, propagated under the euphemistic term of "euthanasia". For racist and economic reasons they were deemed unfit to live. Over the course of World War II the National Socialists aimed to exterminate people with disabilities in the occupied territories of Western Europ. This publication presents the results of the latest research on these murders in the German occupied territories, as discussed at an IHRA conference held in Bern in November 2017.
