Nazi Euthanasia Programs

During the Holocaust there were so many terrible things but some of the most horrific and despicable come from the Aktion T-4 program, the Aktion 14f13 program, and what became known as The Final Solution.

During the early days of the Third Reich, Hitler's Nazi party, the people that were targeted were not specifically Jewish. They mainly targeted people with physical and mental disabilities such as schizophrenia and blindness. This was the beginning of the Aktion T-4 program, which later became the Aktion 14f13 program which was focused on the mass murder of people in concentration and death camps. Soon the number of prisoners they were trying to execute grew so large that they needed a new idea, this idea was known as The Final Solution.
