CHAPTER 6

BY:KAREN ROSE, ANA PLANTE, AND JACKIE TOWNSEND

OPERATION T4

Hitler signed an order for the start of operation T4. Doctors were allowed to select the incurable sick, they would be killed. The order described them "life unworthy of life", the mentally retarded people, Jews in mental hospitals, deformed new born babies, epileptics, people unable to work, victims of any incurable disease.

GAS CHAMBERS

Exhaust fumes were piped from a trucks engine or tanks of carbon monoxide. Groups of people were gassed to death. After the patient was dead, a letter was sent to the family saying their relative died of heart failure.

GYPSIES

The first gypsies who settled down in homes and had steady jobs (nomadic gypsies) they were permitted to remain where they were.The sedentary gypsies who wandered from place to place hey were imprisoned in concentration camps and were asocials, a nazi category of people unfit for civilized society.

The Nazi's got rid of the educated, artists and writers, officers in armed forces, doctors, lawyers, priests, etc.
They were sent to concentration camps, died of the condition or were shot.

Most soviet prisoners were kept in cages, open pens with no shelter, they died or starved to death, if they didn't die, they were used for medical experiments, or were guinea pigs in the first gas chambers

In May 1944, the German army captured 5.6 million Russian prisoners of war. Only 1,871,000 were still alive, 473,000 were listed as executed, 67,000 escaped, the arithmetic yields about 3 million dead

They would only teach the children simple arithmetic that goes to 500, writing their name, and being obedient to Germans.

"The law of existence requires uninterrupted killing, so that the better may live"
-Adolf Hitler
