Handicapped in the Nazi Era

By Adam Bradstreet


After Hitler became chancellor the Nazis devised a plan to make what they believed to be an Aryan master race. The “Law for the Prevention of Progeny with Hereditary Diseases was made in July 14th 1933, the Sterilization started so that all handicapped and sick were sterilized .



Hitlers Idea
was that the Nazis should go around weeding out “Defects” and handicapped from their race to “Purify” it. He believed they “Spoiled the race” and that the “Inferior” people should be sterilized.



The Gas-chambers and The Crematoriums
They continued on with the “Purifying” by putting the Handicapped in gas-chambers, and saying that “they were just going to take a shower”. The gas-chambers were completed with a fake shower nozzle so the occupants believed they were just taking a shower. After, the Nazis took the body's to be cremated, one of the facilities (As pictured) celebrated their 10,000th cremation, having wine and food in the crematorium.





(A killing center were they took the mentally disabled.)




Through methods of gassing sterilization and execution, the Nazis tragically eliminated thousands of mentally ill in till the year of 1945.
