In 1933 the Nazis began to sterilise all Germans who were ill
from hereditary disease and those who had a handicap. Put Holocaust Museum Houston
that into numbers and you are talking between 200,000 and
300,000 Germans forcibly sterilised.
In October 1939 Hitler gave authorisation for the killing, or
the programme of “euthanasia” of all physically and mentally
handicapped Germans. These people were described as
“useless eaters” and “life unworthy of life”. Despite outcry
from the Germans the programme went ahead. 200,000
handicapped Germans were murdered.
Jehovah’s Witnesses, homosexuals, Africans and gypsies
were all persecuted and confi ned, in the fi rst instance, to
labour camps. 5000 gypsies were gassed at the killing
centre at Chelmno, 20,000 more at Auschwitz where a
survivor saw, fi rst hand, several hundred gypsies, with their
children, being pushed into the gas chambers hounded by
German dogs, like a fl ock of sheep. By the end of World War
2 between 250,000 and 500,000 were killed. The numbers
are huge and almost incomprehensible.
My daughter is now reading the Diary of Anne Frank and she
continues with her questions, When did they go outside?
Where are all her friends? Why were they not allowed to
play music? The questions continue, the learning continues
and what has to be made clear is that this whole situation
stemmed from hate and hatred only leads to bad things. At
the end of the day we are all humans and we should be
looking out for one another as God intended.
You can read so much more by visiting the web site, I really
recommend it if you are looking for an outlet to teach your
children, your class or yourself about the differences between
hate and love.
