  • Minute: The Real Significance of Mercy Killing

Commissioner Johnston reads an article that appeared in the New York Times in 1933. The the new national-Socialist government of Germany had proposed the compassionate killing of incurable patients. This small beginning was the origin of the human holocaust that spread from incurable "Aryans" to defective Germans, then to unwanted races like the Jews, the gypsies, and the Poles.
