#Gedenkstätte Alte #Pathologie, #Wehnen. In #Nazi #psychiatry, most mental illnesses were considered hereditary and the sick were considered "inferior". Patients with such diagnoses could only be released from 1934 onwards if they had first been rendered infertile. Until 1947, more than 1,500 mentally ill #patients died in Wehnen due to hunger, medical experiments and "general physical deterioration", according to medical records. #remembrance #neverforget #nationalsocialism
