"Because the program was secret, T-4 planners and functionaries took elaborate measures to conceal its deadly designs. Even though physicians and institutional administrators falsified official records in every case to indicate that the victims died of natural causes, the "euthanasia" program quickly became an open secret.There was widespread public knowledge of the measure.

"Private and public protests concerning the killings took place, especially from members of the German clergy.""In light of the widespread public knowledge and the public and private protests, Hitler ordered a halt to the Euthanasia Program in late August 1941.""Hitler's call for a halt to the T4 action did not mean an end to the "euthanasia" killing operation. Child "euthanasia" continued as before."🧵10/15#AktionT4

"Moreover, in August 1942, German medical professionals and healthcare workers resumed the killings, although in a more carefully concealed manner than before. More decentralized than the initial gassing phase, the renewed effort relied closely upon regional exigencies, with local authorities determining the pace of the killing."🧵11/15#AktionT4

"The Euthanasia Program continued until the last days of World War II, expanding to include an ever wider range of victims, including geriatric patients, bombing victims, and foreign forced laborers.""Historians estimate that the Euthanasia Program, in all its phases, claimed the lives of 250,000 individuals."Source: https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/euthanasia-program🧵12/15#AktionT4

"Aktion T4 essentially expanded the compulsory sterilization of those deemed “unfit” provided by the Nuremberg laws, which had been in operation since the early days of the Reich. In the six-year period between 1933 and 1939, approximately 360,000 people were sterilized.""The methods and technologies employed in the T4 program to murder the handicapped would become a precursor to the atrocities committed in the death camps"🧵13/15#AktionT4

"Indeed, some of the same personnel who performed well in the #AktionT4 program went on to great ['glory'] at the extermination centers.Given Hitler’s overarching concern for racial purity, it [was] a short step to extend the ideological justification for murdering the unfit to other categories of perceived biological enemies of the state: Jews and Roma and Sinti, homosexuals, criminals, alcoholics, and malcontents."Source: https://digital.kenyon.edu/bulmash_euthanasia/🧵14/15

One last thing from me:Eugenics always leads to murder.This thinking is much older than the Nazis, and didn't die with them.It's alive and well - if you know how it looks, you can see it at every corner.For instance: Phrenology got reinvented by techbros #LudditeAI Even left/progressive/'liberal' groups are not free from it.Be a Nestbeschmutzer, don't give it a free pass!#SiamoTuttiAntifascisti #Alerta🧵16/15#AktionT4

This needs to be shared widely:#WhitehouseWash My change-detection just caught something big:dei.gov got registered around one week ago - for some days it was empty.Than a long list appeared, which quickly got password-protected; see screenshots.It lists short bullet-points about 'wasteful' governmental spending, looks like a list to justify their actions (and what may be to come)See for yourself:https://archive.org/details/changedetection-dei-gov-waste-govHosted by #Automattic (of #Wordpress-fame)#DEI #US #USA

Question re #SafeguardingResearch We encounter 'web applications' that our current method of archiving don't preserve.Things like [we need a better example, this one is already gone (but the data preserved) https://social.coop/@edsu/114206452552797815]We are mostly using https://github.com/openzim/zimit to create WARC files and combining them into a single ZIM.(This uses the browsertrix crawler)Any ideas on how to archive not just the content, but also the functionality of such applications?#DigiPres #Web #Archiving

"Late Friday afternoon—a time traditionally reserved for burying news and slipping out of the office—the U.S. Copyright Office quietly dropped a “pre-publication” version of Part 3 of its highly anticipated artificial intelligence study. The 108-page report provides the Office’s detailed take on how U.S. copyright law, particularly the fair use doctrine, should apply to the use of copyrighted works to train generative AI models."https://copyrightlately.com/copyright-office-ai-report/
