- As the war began in 1939, Hitler initialed an order to kill
institutionalized, handicapped patients deemed incurable. Special commissions
of physicians reviewed questionnaires filled out by all state hospitals and
then decided if a patient should be killed. The doomed were then transferred to six
institutions in Germany and Austria, where specially constructed gas chambers
were used to kill them. After public protests in 1941, the Nazi leadership
continued this euphemistically termed "euthanasia" program in secret. Babies,
small children, and other victims were thereafter killed by lethal injection and
pills by forced starvation.
- The "euthanasia" program contained all the elements later required for mass
murder of European Jews and Gypsies in Nazi death camps: an articulated decision
to kill, specially trained personnel, the apparatus for killing by gas, and the
use of euphemistic language like "euthanasia" which psychologically distanced
the murderers from their victims and hid the criminal character of the killings
from the public.
