Grafeneck

Grafeneck is a small rural village in Germany, near the town of Münsingen, south-west of Stuttgart. The castle of Grafeneck, which had previously been an asylum for crippled people, was turned by the Nazis into an extermination facility.

During 1940 and 1941, mentally ill people were gassed in Grafeneck with carbon monoxide in the first gas chamber. This was the beginning of the T-4 Euthanasia Program.
