Hadamar Clinic
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Hadamar Clinic was a mental hospital in the German town Hadamar, used by the Nazis as the site of their T-4 Euthanasia Program, which performed mass sterilizations and mass murder of "undesirable" members of Nazi society, specifically the physically and mentally handicapped. There was thick smoke visible above Hadamar in the summer of 1941 when the staff celebrated the cremation of their 10,000th patient with beer and wine served in the crematorium. Despite precautions to cover up the T-4 program some staff members were indiscrete and the word leaked out. In the Hadamar school, students would often taunt each other by saying "You'll end up in the Hadamar ovens!"
