Group tour at the memorial and information site for the victims of the National Socialist »euthanasia« murders
The guided tour at the memorial and information site offers a historical overview of the murder of tens of thousands of patients from sanatorium and nursing homes and offers an examination of biographies of persecuted persons.
The murder of tens of thousands of patients from hospitals, as well as »racially« and socially undesirable people was the first systematic mass crime of the National Socialist regime. It is considered a precursor to the extermination of European Jews.
Many of the doctors involved in the crimes continued to work in their profession after the end of World War II. Both German states and Austria refused to acknowledge the victims. It was not until the 1980s that memorials were erected in the former killing centres and at other places.
The participants work with biographies, the memorial site and its design elements and can contribute their special interests and questions to the tour.
