Thank you for reading this. I was not in the Holocaust, but still as a human, Jew and someone who has a mental illness, the task now falls to us. To remember, to study and to learn. And then pass the message on to remember, to learn and most importantly to tell. What is my task here? To tell what happened to all those people long ago and pass the message on. It is a little closer to us here than some of us might know these are the people to whom I am speaking. What happened to the mentally ill? I will tell because they do not seem to have a voice when it comes to this dark period of human history. POSSIBLE TRIGGER FOR THE ULTHMATE ABUSE. So the mentally ill came to the attention of the Nazi killing machine. Being efficient, the Nazi's figured that they could not use the mentally ill for their purposes or any purpose at all. Yet they still had to be housed, clothed, cared for. Caring for them costs money. Now if there were no mentally ill people, that money could be used for the war effort. CONTINUED
