Top Comments of this video!! :3
I could not watch it fully. Just to painful. The brother of my grandfather was killed in this castle on the 1st of September 1941. He belonged to the first groups of Dutch Jews taken from Mauthaussen on whom these Nazi-monsters experimented with gas. The older I get, the harder it becomes to grasp all the Nazi horror and the more the lifelong intense grief of my grandparents and mother concerning the many cruelly murdered familymembers, haunts me. I will never forget and never forgive. And for all the many victims: may their souls be bound up in the bond of eternal life.

Hartheim is one of the worst places I've ever been to. It is shocking and heartbreaking. I live not far from Hartheim, some 100 kms and some 140 kms to Mauthausen. The people in the neighbourhood knew what was going on and had to live with that and were not allowed to talk with anyone until the war was over.

It feels like Iāve watched hundreds of hours of documentaries on WW II Germany and then thereās always a new thumbnail with a new unimaginable story Iāve never heard before. I doubt most people have a grasp of how terrible this time period was for humanity. Hard to believe how cruel people can be when it comes down to it.

The irony of destroying all evidence and documents is staggering. If it wasn't a war crime and a crime against humanity why the need to remove all physical evidence and burn all documentation if what happened at the castle, and other extermination camps was not an inhumane and barbaric crime. The people responsible then have the absolute nerve to say they had no idea what they were doing, they were following orders or that nothing like that happened. It makes one sick to think that a lot of those involved got away with these crimes due to lack of evidence.

As much as I hate having to read subtitles these french videos are of very good quality. What is amazing about the T4 program is that the instigators of it really thought they were doing something noble. I read a biography of Doctor karl Brandt. I forget who the author was but it was a very good read. Its an old familiar story. This Renno creep lives to be 90 and dies in bed. I have studied this subject for many years and I'm surprised that I have never run into Major Dammeron anywhere. Im very familiar with Benjamin Ferencz who was also a war crimes investigator and is still alive at 103.

Hartheim Castle is a castle located in Alkoven, Austria. The castle is most well-known for its dark history as a euthanasia center during the Nazi regime in World War II.
In 1898, the castle was purchased by the Upper Austrian State Asylum and was converted into a psychiatric hospital. During World War II, the Nazis converted the hospital into a euthanasia center, where thousands of people, including children, were murdered as part of the Nazi regime's policy of eugenics.
The castle was liberated by American forces in May 1945 and was later used as a refugee center for displaced persons. In the 1970s, the castle was turned into a museum and memorial, dedicated to the victims of the Nazi euthanasia program. Today, the castle serves as a reminder of the atrocities committed during the Nazi regime and as a place for education and reflection on the importance of human rights and dignity.

Just superior documentary! Please consider one on treblinka, from the village train station to the actual extermination camp, along with the procedure. Trial transcripts in dusseldorf are still not avail for general study..testimonies from kurt franz et al. Maybe your staff could locate and utilize this for another story like this one.

Splendid documentary on the T-4 project. William Shirer's "Berlin Diary" pays some urgent attention to this program in his comments around late 1939 and into 1940. Apparently, the death certificates, as emphasized in this documentary, were the key element in disclosing something was not right with Grafneck, Hartheim and other T-4 killing centers. A significant point he makes is one death certificate received by a couple,, whose invalid son was at a site, indicated he had died of "appendicitis." However, the parents were a little shocked as their son had had his appendix removed years before. I wish there had been a little more information on Dr. Karl Brandt and his conception of this program. Additionally, for many years, there was no public disclosure of the initial name of the first victim. Today his name is known. However, the first victim's parents had actually written to Hitler and indicated they saw no further worth in their child's further existence as he was so mentally handicapped and asked Hitler for a "Gnadenmord" or mercy killing. It was Hitler who took this letter up with Brandt, if I recall correctly. The T-4 program was then launched. I might also
add that one of the major indictments against Karl Brandt during the "Doctor's Trial" (Brandt, Gerhard Rose, et al vs. the IMT) in 1948, was his complicity in T-4 and was subsequently executed for his participation in it.

Whenever you think you know everything about the WWII, you find out about something new. This was the first time I heard about the Hartheim Castle. "Those who don't remember the mistakes of the past, are fated to commit them again."
