National-Socialism: Euthanasia and family research

During the Nazi era, people were transferred from hospitals and homes for the disabled to various institutions in the German Reich and in the annexed territories and murdered there. This took place in two phases. Speaker Inga Guttzeit, based on her own relative, shows that it is possible to follow his path in today’s Poland and the Pomeranian institutions until he was murdered in Meseritz (today Międzyrzecz) in Brandenburg. There will be an overview of the history surrounding the forced sterilization of mentally ill and disabled people and their murder (“euthanasia”). This presentation will not be recorded. Info & registration. Inga Guttzeit lives in Lübeck, Germany, and has been researching and speaking on this topic for many years.
