During World War II, a secret Nazi “euthanasia” program code-named T4 systematically murdered an estimated 250,000 people with mental and physical disabilities. Most were native-born Germans, and many were children. Patricia Heberer Rice of the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum detailed the atrocities and perpetrators of T4.
