T4 - The Nazi Forced Euthanasia Program - Short History Documentary

Aktion T4 was the codename for the Nazi Involuntary Euthanasia program. Between 1939 and 1945, an estimated 270,000 people with various physical or mental disabilities were taken away. The goal of the Nazi State was to purify the genetic stock of the German people through eugenics. Vile propaganda pushed the German people to believe their disabled fellow countrymen and women were a financial burden and attempted to dehumanize some of the most vulnerable people in society.
