Résumé
The author proves here how the slaughter of the disabled and the ill considered incurable: “useless lives” also qualified as “unworthy to be kept alive”, became, before 1933, an idly accepted concept among medical circles in Germany. Husson not only reports about the organizational connection that links T4 Program and the Holocaust, he also demonstrates how, even today, German collective memory remains strangely silent regarding this crime, which was essentially perpetrated on German soil, contrary to the genocide of the Jews and the mass murder of Soviet war prisoners. Since this crime was also the fruit of society as demonstrates a congress of German city Mayors held in April 1940.
