During the Holocaust, one of the non-Jewish groups mistreated by the Nazis were people with disabilities. The Nazis implemented a program called the T-4 Euthanasia Program, which targeted individuals with physical and mental disabilities for extermination. This program aimed to eliminate those deemed "unfit" or "undesirable" according to Nazi ideology, viewing them as a burden on society.
Under this program, thousands of people with disabilities were forcibly sterilized or killed through methods such as gas chambers, lethal injections, or starvation. The Nazis considered them as part of their idea of creating a "pure" Aryan race, leading to the tragic and systematic persecution of individuals with disabilities during the Holocaust.
