M-Aktion
M-aktion was a secret plan created by Nazi Germany during World War II to capture and kill people with disabilities. This plan was called "M-aktion" because the word "M" stands for "mercy" in German, but the plan was the opposite of mercy.
The Nazis believed people with disabilities were inferior and a burden on society. They thought people with disabilities were "genetically defective" and wanted to "cleanse" German society by getting rid of them.
To carry out this plan, the Nazis set up special hospitals and clinics where people with disabilities were taken. Once there, they were either killed outright or subjected to cruel experimentation. The Nazis used various methods to kill these people, including lethal injections, starvation, and gas chambers.
The M-aktion was part of a larger plan called the "T-4 program," which was responsible for killing thousands of people with disabilities in Germany and other parts of Europe. The T-4 program was eventually shut down due to public pressure and opposition from the German churches, but the Nazis continued to kill people with disabilities through other means.
Overall, the M-aktion was a cruel and discriminatory plan that caused immense suffering for people with disabilities and their families. It is a tragic reminder of the terrible consequences of prejudice and hatred.
