120 Years Ago Today
Friday 25th of April 1902Nazi psychiatrist Werner Heyde aka Fritz Sawade known for organizing the T-4 Euthanasia Program is born in Forst, Brandenburg, Germany.
Since 1954, he has been working under the leadership of Peter Wagner, a psychiatrist himself. Werner's interest in the euthanasia movement began in the 1990s when Wagner started making comments about "the suffering of the whole human race". He was also interviewed publicly about this fact. Werner says that in the early 1990s his theory about euthanasia was changed. He first published the article "The Future of the Oppressive Treatment" (The Guardian) in 1999. As mentioned, that article was published in March this year. In the article we are given the story of his discovery of the disease called T-4 Euthanasia or M-14. Werner writes that because there was a crisis, he contacted the German Government who said they had no need for euthanasia. Werner's hypothesis became known back in 2000 when a man named Andreas Mönich-Gothmann developed a theory about M-14 developed in the late 1970s about the "vast body of data and medical research that still has not been written about it". For the past three years he had researched and documented and compiled this massive database about euthanasia in Germany. In doing this he has had to ask for donations. Recently Johann Müller came to Germany with the idea they should ask for.
