Nazis of Yesteryear, Meet Terri Schiavo's Would Be Killers
GERMAN EUTHANASIA- T-4 PROGRAM AND EERIE SIMILARITIES TO NOW
Germany's euthanasia program started in 1935, with Hitler's Nuremberg Laws. These were not just aimed at Jews, but also any devout Christians, any Gypsies, Poles, homosexuals, trade unionists, and all opposition to the New Regime..... In 1939, the Reich Chancellory ordered the first waive of euthanasia to coincide with the first massive executions at Chelmno concentration camp in Poland. Hitler wrote in MEIN KAMPF on the removal of all diseased and deformed persons so not to pollute or weaken the Reich. Hitler ordered the SS to oversee it, but most of the dirty work was done by civilian doctors and authorized by civilian judges. All of the doctors and judges had the eagle and swastika, so I guess their innocence is moot.
The Nazis preferred method was sending all of the physically disabled, mentally retarded, and incurably insane, into a "shower room." They all crammed in there, thinking, it's bath time. The only thing to poor out of the shower heads was smoke and carbon monoxide. The Nazis used engines to gas these poor people. Apparently Heinrich Himmler, and Dr. Brandt thought that starvation and injections was too much of a strain on their staff. God forbid anyone get remorse over what they did.
However, the church and many regular Germans did oppose this. Mistakes were made, and many families got multiple earns of ashes, even if they had one kid. People did the math and protested. The Vatican even issued excommunication edicts to the German cardinals. Hitler backed down and stopped the T-4 Program. However, close to 100,000 of the disabled were killed.
This was a sad testament to the state giving edicts on who can live, and who had life unworthy of living. This was also a dry-run for worse mass murder of over 6 Million Jews, 4-5 Million Russians and Poles, 2-3 Million Gypsies, and hundreds of thousands of POWs, priests/pastors, later Hitler's own generals, the rich, and all who opposed Hitler.
The Holocaust started with one group and then went after everyone. I hope we learn from this savagery. If not, God Forgive Us and God Help Us, because no one else may be able to if we progress this way.
