Far too many Americans have forgotten or are ignorant of the below. Words have meaning and we should be more careful in how we use them. To call someone Hitler is an injustice to those who suffered by his hand, because it normalizes one of the greatest evil this world has ever known.
Adolf Hitler’s regime targeted and killed people with disabilities as part of its brutal policies. Beginning in 1939, the Nazi government initiated what was known as the T4 Program (named after the address of its headquarters, Tiergartenstrasse 4 in Berlin). This program aimed to exterminate individuals with physical, intellectual, and psychological disabilities, whom the Nazis considered “life unworthy of life.” They believed people with disabilities did not fit into their ideology of a “pure” and “strong” Aryan race.
Under the T4 Program, an estimated 275,000 to 300,000 people with disabilities were murdered through lethal injection, starvation, and gas chambers, marking one of the early large-scale killing operations of the Holocaust. The methods and infrastructure developed during this program were later expanded and used in the mass extermination of Jews, Slavs, Romani people, and other groups during the Holocaust. The T4 Program was a horrifying example of how Nazi ideology translated into systematic extermination, targeting some of society’s most vulnerable individuals.
