People with Physical Disabilities

During the Holocaust people and kids with mental and physical problems had a hard time living in the world because of Hitler and Germans. They would be called threats to other people and society, they would be viewed as useless to the world because they couldn’t work, and unworthy to live a life.
Hitler would target them as “T4” or have them in a “Euthanasia” program. Before marking them, the Germans would send them to doctors. After seeing them and finding out what’s wrong, the doctors would then chose who got to live and who would be killed. Adults would be put in gas chambers and be poisoned, while infants and small children would be drugged or be starved to death. “Euthanasia” mean “good deaths”. Adolf Hitler signed a secret contract to keep the doctors and nurses from being killed.
The Germans then placed the dead bodies in big ovens hot enough to burn their bodies to ash. Over 5 years, 200,000 adults and kids with physical disabilities were harmed, or murdered in the Holocaust. After the war there were very little people with disabilities that survived the Holocaust.
