🔥 Aktion T4 Program — Nazi Germany's "Euthanasia" Program -Many of the personnel from T4 went on to work in Treblinka and Sobibor.

 



What it was:
A secret Nazi campaign to systematically murder people with disabilities — physical, mental, emotional — under the ideology of racial purity and "mercy killing."

When:
Officially operated from 1939 to August 1941, but killings continued covertly afterward.

Why:
The Nazis believed these individuals were a "burden on society", both economically and genetically. This fit into their larger racial ideology, where only the "strong" and "racially pure" (i.e., Aryans) were considered valuable.

Who was targeted:

  • People with mental illnesses

  • People with physical disabilities

  • Children with deformities or syndromes

  • Elderly or chronically ill individuals

  • Sometimes even soldiers traumatized by WWI

What happened to the victims:

  • Involuntary sterilization

  • Institutionalization in inhumane conditions

  • Murder, often via gas chambers, starvation, or lethal injection

  • Families were lied to — told their loved ones died of natural causes

How many died:
Estimates range between 200,000 and 300,000 people across Germany and Nazi-occupied territories.

Why it’s called "T4":
Named after the address of the program's Berlin HQ: Tiergartenstraße 4.

Legacy:

  • Aktion T4 was a precursor to the Holocaust — it was the first organized use of gas chambers.

  • Many of the personnel from T4 went on to work in Nazi death camps like Treblinka and Sobibor.
