∙ 15y agoThere is no number they can only guess. == Many, yes, but the German Euthanasia program against Physical and Mental defectives was less than a million citizens. I don't know how many physically disabled people were killed but 70,000 were killed under the T4 Program which was where they just killed them with poison gas rather than sterilising them. Altogether, approximately 275,000 disabled people were killed by the Nazis.

Was the physically and mentally disabled killed first in the Holocaust?
Yes. The T4 programme of 'euthanasia' began in 1939, before the building of the camps. An anti disability propaganda campaign, that labelled the physically disabled and mentally ill, "useless eaters" and emphasised the financial burden of caring for them on society, preceded the establishment of six killing centres. Doctors decided which patients were considered burdens on society and sent them to be murdered by starvation, lethal injection or gas. The T4 centres trialled the 'gas chamber disguised as shower room' method of mass murder, which was later expanded in the camps. Camp personnel often started their careers overseeing the ‘euthanasia’ of disabled people in the T4 centres.
