Nazi War on Disabled. Adolf Hitler’s racial supremacy included the killing of disabled individuals as being inferior to his racial master race. This included the murdering of 5,000 disabled children and also development of a program to murder 70,273 disabled adults. In 1939, Hitler’s Nazi team encouraged parents of children with disabilities to bring the children to specialty pediatric clinics. But what Hitler actually had the Nazi hospitals do was to murder the disabled children through lethal drugs or starvation. When the Nazi child-killing program began, it was initially designed to murder infants, but the Nazis then increased the murder program to kill children up to 17 years of age.
The “T4” program for adults created six installation of gas chambers for disabled adults throughout Germany, killing over 70,000 such disabled adults. The Nazis also murdered disabled patients in hospitals in mass shootings, as well as “gas vans” to murder disabled people in their occupied territories. An Italian study has shown that the Nazis killed up to 300,000 disabled individuals.
