Overlooked Victims
Chaotic Murders
According to the Nazi policy, disabled people were considered a problem for the society. They required constant care, but they were also far from the Nazi definition of the perfect race. Therefore, the regime tried to get rid of anyone showcasing a possibility.
Initially, disabled people weren’t killed, but sterilized. All sterilizations were conducted without the victims’ approval.
Victims also included black people, Jehova’s witnesses and even Catholic priests, among many others.

Disabled Girl’s Doll
The Nazi regime put disabled people in the same undesirable category with Jews, Romani people, gay people and others. Mila Meier of Berlin, Germany, was only 12 when she was murdered by the Nazi regime. Her doll was kept by her sister Liselotte, who was spared because she was healthy. The doll was kept in the family since that unfortunate incident.

Letters From Yugoslavian Prisoners
