Another exhibit in Berlin I found very emotional. This is the site of the headquarters of Aktion or T4. The organization coordinated the collection and killing of the people who had medical and mental health issues during the German Reich. The outside exhibit tells the stories of different victims and their condition. You also learn how many of the doctors and nurses were placed on trial after the war for their involvement.

A beautiful monument dedicated to lives lost from euthanasia clinics during the holocaust. The location of the monument was chosen because the headquarters of the Aktion T4 program was the building that is behind the monument now (Tiergarten 4). The information in front of the display is in English and German with braille on the electronic information spots. Although the electronic information boxes were not operating today, the display conveys enough information to educate people on the topic of euthanasia clinics. The monument is very accessible for assistive devices of any size.

This is a small, chilling memorial to the more than 70,000 individuals murdered (“euthanized”) under the “mental hygiene” program called Aktion T4 (short for the address of the Chancellory office at Tiergardenstraße 4, where the memorial is now located). The actual memorial is a long, translucent blue wall (lots of interesting symbolism in that, worth looking up online). In front of the wall is a series of plaques with specific examples of individuals killed under this program and an overview of the program itself. The murder of individual citizens deemed “mentally unfit” (i.e. people with various psychological disorders, learning disabilities or tendencies to violate societal norms) is a significant but lesser-known chapter in the campaign of destruction and genocide perpetrated by the Nazi party under Hitler during WWII. This memorial is an important look at the way people on the fringes of society were viewed and treated in Nazi Germany.

Simplistic but informative of a horrible part of history that isn't emphasized as much as the more dramatic death camps.

A stark monument explaining how the infirm and troubled German people were removed from hospitals and murdered to make room for the wounded soldiers.

Auch sehr gut alle Information zu lesen in der dunklen Jahreszeit, da es beleuchtet ist.
