Victims of Nazi 'experiments' to be buried [View All]

[dArKeR]

Berlin - The red brick facade and manicured lawns of an east German clinic hide a chilling past: its role at the heart of a Nazi euthanasia programme that targeted children deemed unsuitable to live.

On Tuesday, six decades after they died, the brains of three child victims called Alfred, Guenther and Herbert are to be buried at the Goerden clinic in Brandenburg.

They are thought to be the last remains of hundreds of children who died at the research institute, their fate reflecting a Nazi obsession with forging a genetically as well as ideologically pure master race.
