Lovely palace which Nazis turned into secluded mass killing centre. Now there is a museum, which commemorates the victims of Nazi German euthanasia programme T4

There is a clarification that I would like to make. Hartheim Castle was a place where not only Germans and Austrians were murdered but in very large numbers also citizens of Poland. Among them my Uncle, Polish man. He was first in Mauthausen Gusen Concentration Camp then later transported to Hartheim Castle and murdered. To my knowledge Hartheim Castle was the last place for many man of many nations. Over 30 thousands people was murdered there. I was`t there yet but to publish my clarification it was a must to rate it. I will visit there this year.

It is eerie how serene and almost majestic this castle looks given the heinous crimes that the Nazis perpetrated here. For those unfamilar, this was one of the sites where the Nazis "euthanized" mentally ill and disabled Germans and Austrians. After learning about the process and murders committed here it is fitting to turn the corner to the modern day - the cafe is staffed by mentally ill and disabled persons. Support their efforts and the positive that is now helping the types of people murdered here.

It's a very profound experience, there is little to remind you of the horror that occurred there to the innocent people from the surrounding area and southern Germany. There was strong resistance to what was happening here and those that protested disappeared as a warning to everyone else . Tours and conferences are arranged to those that are interested or as part of the local education experience. It's a credit to the Austrian people that their education includes the mistakes of the past in order to prevent such horrors in the future.

I have not visited yet, so I will jave to adjust the amount of stars when I get there. I just wanted to comment on the term “euthanasia” that was used at some of the photos. A bit eufemistic, don’t you think? It was cold blooded murder. Most of the 400 jewish men of the first raid in Amsterdam were murdered here with poisonous gas. What about the Vergangenheitsbewaltigung of the Austrian Nation? Is it still: it was the Germans who did it?
