My grandfather told me the story of how his mother was euthanized because she had some mental illness (my best guess would be depression). That was when the German army was already retreating, so around 1944/45 He was around seven at the time.

He was incredibly lucky. Thank you for sharing your story

As someone who grew up in the US state of California, it's been devastating to learn about how the Nazis got their blueprint for sterilizing people who were unpopular at the time directly from California. We were raised understanding that our state grew a huge percentage of fruit and vegetables eaten in the US and was known for being very progressive compared to the rest of the US, campaigning for human rights etc - and yet it isn't shared very widely that we used to be terrible, really terrible, only about 100 years ago.

You should just be happy your grandmother made it through the war. Maybe it's possible your great aunt needed constant care and really was life unworthy of life. As bad as it is there are millions of people around the world that would be better off if there were programs still like this in existence. People that can't care for themselves are treated horribly in nursing homes or mental health facilities.

@@jeffreyval9665 I worked in a nursing home here in germany. Its more an organization in charge of programs and nursing homes called "Lebenshilfe" roughly translated "Livehelp" or "helping to live". I worked with severe cases of disabled men and women. All i can say that even if theyre in dire need of help 99% of them were happy and could still enjoy live. I can accept your statement for the 1% that live in constant pain and even with care and medication theres much more pain than joy in their lives. But i still have to oppose your view because my experience taught me to seek out ways to help those people live a joyful and happy live.

Maybe that's how it is in Germany but in the U.S. people living in nursing homes or psychiatric institutions are treated pretty bad. If you don't have the money to go to some upscale place your pretty much ignored and treated like your a burden on the people that work there. Younger people have no respect for their elders.

Yes. It is. I have some mental issues due to abuse and mother's drinking when pregnant and it chills me to think that less than 80 years ago they could legally murder the mentally-ill in psychiatric hospitals in Germany and Reich-held countries. RIP TO all the innocent victims of this evil, evil programme.

Unfortunately if you look at statistics of people with learning disabilities, intellectual disabilities, mental disabilities etc. You will see that statistically people who are disabled die younger and are treated less effectively for unrelated illness :(

@@harrietharlow9929 In many places of the US, calling for a wellness check can result in the troubled individual being shot dead by cops for just not behaving normally

@@terryenby2304 I know and that's awful. We pretend to be a civilized nation, but our treatment of minorities, the disabled and mentally-ill gives that whole fable the lie. I get so mad when I hear that a mentally ill person has been shot and killed by cops--ditto for minorities, like George Floyd, though I'm aware he had his airway constricted by Derek Chauvin and not shot. I'm not saying that Mr. Floyd was an angel, but in the situation in which he was murdered, he was already handcuffed/subdued. That should have been sufficient for Mr. Chauvin, but instead of just getting Mr. Floyd to his feet and putting him in the squad car, the erstwhile cop decided to kneel on Mr. Floyd's neck. Even when, Mr. Floyd indicated that he couldn't breathe Mr. Chauvin persisted until Mr. Floyd died of asphyxiation. I've heard stories of similar things when cops deal with mentally ill/disabled people. This tells you how deficient the training for dealing with the public--minorities andnmentally-ill individualsiincluded-- in other words, it appears to be virtually non-existent.

Eugenics never had close to universal support in academic circles or among the general public. It was pretty clear by the end of the 1920s that the theories promoted by the movement were not scientifically valid. Pope Pius XI condemned “negative eugenics” in 1930. Until the Holocaust, jokes were told at the expense of proponents, derision being the most common reaction as support for eugenics dwindled. Even in Nazi Germany, words whispered in restaurants imagined Hitler sterilizing himself as demanded by his own laws targeting insanity.

Yes very interesting especially regarding the involvement of Planned Parenthood under Margaret Singer

Philosophy evolves over time and preceeds political and cultural changes. Following WW2, eugenecists realized the whole '6 million dead' was horrible branding. If you go to their own writing and don't believe anybody speaking on the matter including myself - they change from 'eugenics' to 'environmentalism ' to achieve the same ends. It's the same philosophy just with different branding.

The Heritage Foundation still funds shit like Prager U to this very day.

Eugenics was very widely spread at the 20's and 30's. What is actually interesting that it also transcended ideologies and beliefs, with even some religious leaders of the time endorsing them.

@Vercingetorix Not as much as you would, when Julius is around (Your screen name not only refers to a brand of pocket knives, but also the King of the Gauls, defeated by Julius Ceasar at the Battle of Alesia) But seriously. I just happened to have taken a closer look into this subject more than a decade ago, and thought this subject not to be widely known. I was surprised as to find Eugenics (supported by President Coolidge) and even an Italian scientist (with a study that the shape of one's skull could determine if you were criminal or not) at its base. With the way the US is sliding down that slippery slope into facism, how long will it take for these ideas to come to the foreground again, now would it?

Those cost a fortune both in the US and Cuba. But who supports that policy. The GOP, remember, Brandon wants to lower the cost of prescription drugs. So are Reps Commies? Facism is not all that fun it claims to be.

@Vercingetorix I think the man had cojones. He was once kidnapped by pirates and ditctated the terms of the ransom himself, because he thought the pirates asked not enough. Later he took a fleet, hunted down those same pirates and crusified them (as he had promised them). A man true to his word. He declared himself emperor, over the wish of the Senate. Yeah, I am getting a better picture of your political wish now. But how do you see yourself in that new fascist US that you would gladly welcome?

Like death cab for cutie wrote, "love is watching someone die".

Yeah. I remember this one miniseries about the Charité, that famous Berlin hospital (which still exists to this day). It began in the early 20th century, with things such as tuberculosis and an appendectomy. Which, at the time, was still a pretty new surgery, and they showed their patient to medical students, telling them (and the patient, who was conscious, as this was before the operation), that she had only a 20 per cent chance of survival. She made it, though. And in N.S. times, one female doctor of the Charité had a child with hydrocephalus. She and her husband, also a physician, secretly drained the excess fluid several times, using syringes. Detection would have been a death sentence at least for the child, but probably for all three of them. But the child survived, albeit with a minor disability. (I think they couldn't always give them a treatment when they would have needed, and anyway, this is not treatment as we know it today, but was hightly experimental at the time.)

Soviet POWs, Slavs, Czechs, Poles, the groups I listed in my initial comment, and any that may have slipped my mind as I write this, _all_ of them, should be remembered together with the Jews on our memorial days, and named, not just summarised as an “and millions of other victims” tacked onto “6 million Jews”. The Jews should go first, given they were the primary victims, but every other group the Nazis persecuted and slaughtered should be named alongside them afterwards.

What is neuro-divergent? Honest question, I'm pretty well read and haven't seen the term before. 🤔🍻

@al saunders neurodivergent means to have autism, adhd, or other stigmatized’ ‘conditions’ that have an effect on cognitive function (meaning neurodivergent people think and process things differently).

The Holocaust, by definition, didn't apply to gentiles. However, the Nazis did indeed systematically pursue and murder other minorities, as this mini-documentary rightly points out. It is deeply unfortunate that the world's knowledge of the atrocities of WW2 seems limited to the Final Solution.

Which don’t get me wrong, that’s not good either but at least they acknowledge the horrors of their countries past. I wish America could do the same.

Ruby Rose As an East German, I can assure you that they learned nothing at all from history. In the early morning hours of a January day in 1992, several police officers occupied the Fuchs couple's apartment at Grunaer Strasse 12 in Dresden and arrested Otto Fuchs. His wife Martha, a Jew who was a concentration camp prisoner, suffered a severe nervous breakdown. She believed that fascists were pushing their way back into her - as they did after 1933. The terrible experiences of the Nazi era were suddenly alive again. She was hospitalized in severe shock. The Leipzig public prosecutor's office brought charges against Otto Fuchs for perversion of justice and murder. In 1950 he was the presiding judge in the Waldheim trials of war criminals and Nazi activists. (This is similar to the famous Nuremberg Trials, but the GDR was more thorough and also sentenced the Nazi criminals and SS members who got away with nothing in the FRG, except for a formal "denazification") He was accused of sentencing innocent people to death (which was ridiculous ... everyone got what they more than deserved). With the help of his lawyer, he was released from custody for some time. In order not to give the Leipzig judges the malicious satisfaction in "his slow and excruciating procedural execution" (his words), he and his wife, who has meanwhile been discharged from the hospital, wrote a suicide note to his lawyer. Then Otto and Martha Fuchs jumped to their death on February 13, 1992 at 11:15 p.m. from the balcony on the seventh floor. The scandal press took up the case with relish. Otto Fuchs was of course called "The judge of death", including "The bodies were completely shattered" The Fuchs couple had no children. Martha Fuchs was sterilized as a Jew during the Nazi era. The Fuchs couple weren't the only ones who were persecuted or discriminated against in this way ... and ultimately couldn't withstand the pressure. The number of suicides among East Germans is estimated at 11,000 in the first few years after reunification. There are no exact numbers. Obviously, that wasn't worth any statistics. The latest scam of discrimination against East Germans and in order not to have to listen to them is to distinguish them as neo-nazis. The whole of Saxony was declared "Dark Germany" when protests broke out in Chemnitz when Daniel Hillert, a German with a Cuban migration background, was stabbed to death by an illegal immigrant from Syria. So so-called" Nazis" get upset about a BLACK man who was stabbed to death? Interesting, isn't it?

In the time of the 90s the people of the Eastern bloc were just coming to terms with the consequences of the economic collapse ... believe me, I was right in the middle of it ... but ok. I agree with you, the US generally has a problem admitting its crimes. and yes, as a german i can tell you ... the truth always comes to light. You can only live with it and try to learn from it. The fact that history has been taught so obsessively in schools for the last 20 years is due to the fact that contemporary witnesses are dying away from us. Unfortunately, especially in the media, a lot of useless crap is spread that you neither need nor ever wanted to know ... for example, that in our history channel, drugs were distributed to soldiers (as if other armies hadn't done it too) or that Hitler only had one testicle ...

@@johnclaybaugh9536 Could you be any more ignorant here if you tried. Abortion to this day is still used as a targeted form of genocide against those of us with a disability - something which Heidi Crowter and rest of the brave Down Syndrome advocates in Don't Screen Us Out are courageously opposing in the UK. In countries like Australia, official discrimination data shows that ableism is more prevalent than racism and sexism combined. From 2010-2013 the Western Australian State Government literally tried to legally mandate the sterilisation of children with a mental-illness as young as 14, without parental knowledge or consent. Here In Australia the biggest predictor bar none, of being the victim of violence, abuse, neglect and exploitation, is having a disability. Children with a disability face rates of institutional child abuse in schools over over 48%. Meanwhile Australia's Child Abuse Royal Commission from a few years ago, noted that child abuse against those of us with a disability is so vastly under-reported that it's impossible to predict how widespread the problem is. SBS News reported a few years ago that those of us with a disability are at least 3 times as likely to be physically or sexually assaulted than those without a disability. Likewise the Australian Bureau of Statistics just reported for example that those of us who are men with a psychological or intellectual disability, are more than 1.5 times as likely to be psychologically abused by a current partner than women without a disability or long term health condition. In fact my own abuse disclosure to Australia's Royal Commission Into Violence, Abuse, Neglect and Exploitation of Persons With Disability was 91 pages long and its final report is expected to be at least 20 volumes long. Then there's legalised euthanasia.In the Fri 18 Oct 2013 Guardian article "Disability - a fate worse than death?", Stella Young notes that when it comes to legalised euthanasia, the underlying attitudes of the Nazi Euthanasia Program are alive and well today. In the 2019 Guardian article entitled "We’re told we are a burden. No wonder disabled people fear assisted suicide", it was noted that at least 64% of persons with a disability feared being murdered under legalised euthanasia schemes, while how things have played out in the USA, Belgium and the Netherlands, have completely justified those fears. Meanwhile when New South Wales legalised euthanasia at the end of 2021, they explicitly rejected amendments with would have expressly prohibited murdering someone simply for having a disability or mental-illness. So spare me your ignorant normalcy bias garbage. It literally is happening here and if the ableism at play in the present day world were white supremacism, then the vast majority of the human race would be de facto members of the Klan.

I’m autistic, 25 and have studied the nazis for more than half my life. I’d never considered that. Well that’s fucking chilling.

@@jordanclark4635 how do you not know this? i’m autistic and knew about this the day i read a wiki page on them, they are literally N@zis...

@@asscheeks3212 that I should feel extra sad, never thought about it from my own point of view, or what it would mean for me

@@jordanclark4635 tbh this also exist in the United State and the Soviet Union as well as China, thankfully Activist organizations such discriminatory programs down in the USA,.... but being an activist in the Soviet Union or China? You might as well paint a target on your forehead... abliem is the norm in both nations, and still is today and argue otherwise will have Russains and Chinese sadly gang up and beaten you on their own streets.

I think chronically depressed people can also understand this very well, that part about being worth living

Ironically Hitler and his Nazi gang were useless eaters lol

I agree. I'd never agree with the practice. It's too open to abuse, it's too awful.. But intellectually, as a species, I get it.

Agreed. For my part, I'm more of a "sterilize then gently and let them live the remainder of their lives" type. We can't just have folks reproducing wildly, we SEE what we get with that. I'm all for folks "having a full happy life" but not when it turns into a burden for the rest of us all. The intellectually disabled are allowed to vote, drive, procreate etc. It's a bit... Irresponsible. Particularly in a day and age when personal responsibility is a dirty word, and everyone is "free" to have as many babies or as much of a f*cked up life as they desire.

Anime PFP = Opinion Invalid 💀 These Femboy Nazis are crazy

Beats me but look at Canada taking notes

You point out something true, but my grandma wanted euthanasia in the case of something major happening and had do not revive causes in her will. When she nearly passed in her sleep as 93 years old a relative called the paramedics and all of her wishes were ignored from that point on so spent the last few years in and out of a comma, with the lucid times in extreme pain on life support. It was a waste of resources and something she did not want and was not in a place where could physicaly end it herself yet would cry out to kill her commonly. There might be a fine line between "right to die" to "duty to die" but we need to find that line and not allow it to swing toward either extreme because right to die has a critical place in preventing extened suffering. We treat our pets better than out fellow humans in this case.

@@bigsprucerabbitry6238 Sir, what you are talking about is why it is so very important to have a living will. I'm so sorry for your pain and your loss, peace be with you.

Plus, the fact that at one time even a person who was depressed or a woman who was considered to be "inclined to being hysterical" by her husband could be put indefinitely into mental hospitals.....in many cases, it was just an easy way for the husband to get rid of the wife that he didn't want to be with anymore; but, for religious or other reasons, he wouldn't divorce.🥺😳🥺

@Vercingetorix agreed.

Think the Soviets mass raping the germans might have something to do with that

Well their protests changed nothing, it was a tiny minority that even decided to fight against their facist regime. People already hated Jews way before Hitler.

@@ZeoViolet This is YT silly

The sites where they experimented, sterilised or euthenised disabled were within eyesight of towns and villages. They watched buses go in full and come out empty. The church and others turned their backs as the smoke from mass cremations darkenned the sky. Parents threatened their kids if they didn't behave they would put them on the buses.

When zyclon b was tested, the Nazis used disabled people in institutions as guinea pigs. They told the resident's families that their loved ones died of natural causes (such as disease.)

She was probably worried her daughter, who was vulnerable because of her disability, would either be coerced or outright assaulted at some point and be forced to give birth when she couldn’t take care of herself or fully comprehend what was happening to her. Plenty of parents of special needs girls get them on birth control for this exact reason.

Yes, hearing the news during this pandemic or even speaking with others and hearing, "They were elderly" "They had underlying medical conditions". As if somehow the number of deaths is irrelevant because they were older or had a medical condition. The exact same kind of thinking that lead to and tried to justify these murders.

@@coleengoodell7523 I think you've completely lost the plot. Your comparison has almost nothing in common. It's a simple fact that elderly and people with underlying medical conditions were experiencing more fatal cases caused by COVID than anyone else. It's literally the primary point that was used to ask people to do everything they could not to spread COVID to older family during the holidays. No one worth listening to was blaming them or murdering them. How is that, in any way, comparable to Hitler's program? Where did you see it written or stated that the number of deaths was irrelevant? Please explain this narrative of yours.

@@Warrior_Culture.... What if Covid was released from a lab... Like Fauci says. An accident or on purpose....???? How much social security money has been saved over the last 2 yrs due to old people dieing of covid ...???

@@coleengoodell7523 Have you heard about Chinas demographic problem?

Thats why it is happening again because ppl are ignorant or have the wrong idea about nazis and spread misinformation about them so they are allowed to continue spreading nazi propaganda but disguised as something else.
