The Nazis Practiced and Endorsed Euthanasia
The origin of this photo comes to us from a German propaganda film. The image shows two doctors in an asylum and the description says “life only as a burden.” This was propaganda that looked to gain sympathy for the euthanasia program as a better option than letting patients die on their own. The Nazi Party, in reality, didn’t want to maintain the costs associated with carrying for the mentally ill, sick, and disabled. Such people didn’t fit into Hitler’s vision for a physically perfect German population.
The next entry also comes from a similar movie and it’s just as disgusting.
