Ultra Rare Document from KL Auschwtiz to T4 Center!!!
Ultra rare secret document sent from KL Auschwitz SS-Sanitätsamt (SS-Medical office) to one of the most important Euthanasia T4 centers in Germany, Pirna-Sonnenstein, were near 14,000 people were killed. In this case it's a kind of death report or death list with some figures about Jews and Gypsies that died in KL Auschwitz in the period of 1. May to 29. May 1943. Report is sent from the SS Radio station of KL Auschwitz directly to the doctor Fritz Zaspel from T4 center Pirna-Sonnenstein. The numbers listed are: 6212 Jews and 918 Gypsies. Deceases from Fleckfieber (typhus) were in that period 528 Jews and 274 Gypsies. Document is of big importance historically speaking because it shows the connections between concentration camps all over Europe and the Nazi Euthanasia programme and the collaboration between T4 centres and concentration camp system. This document is a proof of the crimes committed against the Jews and gypsies (amongst other social groups) by the Nazis and another proof of the Holocaust. This report is dated in 5.29.1943.Aktion T4 was a campaign of mass murder by involuntary euthanasia in Nazi Germany. The term was first used in post-war trials against doctors who had been involved in the killings. The name T4 is an abbreviation of Tiergartenstraße 4, a street address of the Chancellery department set up in early 1940, in the Berlin borough of Tiergarten, which recruited and paid personnel associated with T4. Certain German physicians were authorised to select patients "deemed incurably sick, after most critical medical examination" and then administer to them a "mercy death" (Gnadentod). In October 1939, Adolf Hitler signed a "euthanasia note", backdated to 1 September 1939, which authorised his physician Karl Brandt and Reichsleiter Philipp Bouhler to begin the killing.The Hartheim, Bernberg, Sonnenstein and Hardamar centres continued in use as "wild euthanasia" centres to kill people sent from all over Germany, until 1945. The methods were lethal injection or starvation, those employed before use of gas chambers.For more information about Pirna-Sonnenstein Euthanasia T4 Programme center, check this link below:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonnenstein_Euthanasia_Centre
